      The Migrator team has recently explored an Electron Application PoC using Electron Forge as their main framework for bundling, packaging and shipping their application.

      They've described it as "very easy to use", requiring little config overall. It's definitely a more standard solution than what we use, and we should investigate replacing most of our hadron-build package with it, rather than investing time into maintaining the latter.

      Obviously, there is a bit of extra complexity in Compass, such as auto-update integration or native packages, or our specialized webpack config, but it seems like it would still be worth an investigation at some point.
