This project is the result of my code-along at the end of the video Build an Electron App in Under 60 Minutes by Brad Traversy. His original code repo may be found here, which utilizes the Electron Packager Tutorial by Christian Engvall to create MacOS, Windows, and Linux executables with an app icon.
