    Very Nice video.
    Actually i have followed all steps but the set up is only about 218 kb and when i open it the error message i get
    This is a dummy update.exe.If you are seeing this, your build did not correctly replace the IDR_UPDATE_ZIP resource.
    Command line: '--install.'

    Where can I find a full example of the forge.config.js file? The command that's supposed to create it does nothing for me and I can't find a single example on the internet

    Is it possible for you to make a tutorial on how to create a Auto Updater for Electron Forge? I am using a Webpack Template for React as my Frontend and I certainly cant find enough doc to make an auto updater, I am constantly going into dead-end.

    I have an issue though, in my case i have a golang exe file in my project which i run as a process to act like a backend server. When working on dev and running "npm run start" it works fine but after i make me desktop executable for the file the built executable give an error saying.
    Uncaught exception:
    error: spawn server.exe ENOENT

      Yes I found a fix by signing the created artifact or installer

    Does the electron version of your app have any advantages compared to the pwa?

    • @IsraelQuiroz
      @IsraelQuiroz  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      specifically when talking about electron versions i'm not that sure but using PWA v Electron depends on your use case
      both have pros and cons
      are you mainly asking about the advantages of Electron vs using PWA? im not really sure about your question

      @@IsraelQuiroz yes that is the question. Why the hustle of making electron app when creating pwa is much easier

    • @IsraelQuiroz
      @IsraelQuiroz  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      gotcha thank you for clearing that up!
      so electron is similiar to PWA but with slight tweaks, Electron actually gets installed on your PC which means it has access to the machine in ways the PWA cant because its "installed" but still is basically running on the browser
      Electron also is best for Desktop applications that don't care about mobile
      if you need mobile maybe PWA is the way to go
      Electron also allows you to create platform specific desktop apps, PWA is just a general solution since it runs in the browser there are differences but both are great to use, just depends on exactly your use case for one or the other. I do agree creating the PWA is super easy but may not always be the best solution
