Building a desktop application with Electron

This is a good introduction. I recently started playing with Electron after being frustrated with trying to get NW.js to install gracefully (without having to edit a binary first).

I'm currently working with node-sodium on a simple E2E encrypted chat app in Electron (for fun only! I'm not reinventing Cryptocat).

Yeah, that's what put me off of NW.js too. The prebuilt Electron binaries, electron-packager and electron-builder are too good to pass up. That also sounds like a sweet project to learn the ins and outs of Node because you can hack away at a chat app for weeks adding cool features.
