Small piece of advice. There are many mistakes in the code, that you DO NOT rectify or even mention, your code magically works, and in the next frame the code changes. Please have annotations or something to let users know who will use this as a quick tutorial.

Hello, thanks for the great tutorial. But angular-siri-wave repo does not exist anymore. Just for your info.

A must use is electron-prebuilt-compiler. such an awesome auto fill for the scripts

a lot of old/incorrect information such as width CAN be more the pixels... such as vw and vh which auto adjust to windows changes...

hi Rahul How you shoot the videos. infact I like the way its presented. you as coding and the screen on your background.? do you use some trick

[davidkroell]

So it seems that angular-route 1.5.8 is incompatible with angular 1.5.5, and needs to be upgraded to 1.6.8. However, I'm unsure is siri-wave is compatible with this change. Is anyone else seeing this issue. Will continue with the tutorial, but I'm not happy that we have to solve version issues and deal with the fallouts of technical debt ourselves...

Is it possible to build windows app from linux using electron?

[Rubenjr]

Is it better to learn electron or learn native coding for desktop development for both windows and Mac?

Dude when did you change the open dialog properties from openDirectory to openFile?

Hi, great video! how can we embed an electron app inside another electron app, similar to ? By embed, I mean instead of redirecting to a my second app to do something, I can simply run the second app inside the first one. Similar to having google maps inside my own app instead of redirecting to google maps, have the user enter in the information there and then returning back to my app. Similar to web frame / web view functionality. I want do something similar with my electron apps. Hope to hear from you soon on how I can do this. If possible, would appreciate a tutorial on embedding an electron app inside another electron app. Thanks! :)

I like the video and the content. However I kinda wished you used Linux instead of OSX. Anyway.

Good job, but please try to organize better your code, some spacing please!! :'(
