Description

Would it be possible to use a JS framework (like Vue or React) and a design library (like Material Design or Bootstrap) for webviews and the Electron app?

A potential stack would be:

  • Vue
  • Vue Material (Vue implementation of Material Design)
  • TypeScript
  • TSLint
  • Jest (testing)

My goal is to leverage existing libraries to improve design, development, and testing but also keep dependencies and complexity low.
