Electron Development in Derby
Building desktop applications with Electron for Derby organisations, where the delivery problem is larger than the development one. You are shipping a browser, so the download is substantial, the memory footprint is real, and getting updates onto machines securely — signed, notarised, verified — is the part that takes longest to get right.
Why this comes up
The problem
The application works well and there is no way to update it, so every fix means asking users to download an installer again.
What you get
What we deliver
- Automatic updates implemented and signed, since unsigned updates are a risk vector
- Code signing and notarisation set up for each platform you distribute on
- Memory footprint measured and reduced where it affects users' machines
- Process boundaries respected, so untrusted content cannot reach the system
- Native integration used where it distinguishes the app from a browser tab
- Installer experience built properly, as it is the first impression on desktop

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Electron Development in Derby — common questions
- Why is updating the hard part?
- Because it involves signing, hosting and platform requirements rather than code. An update mechanism that is not properly signed is a way for someone to deliver arbitrary software to your users, so this is a security-critical component rather than a convenience.
- How much does the memory footprint matter?
- Enough that users comment on it. Every instance carries a browser engine, and an application that idles at several hundred megabytes competes with everything else on a laptop — reducing it is worthwhile even when the application performs acceptably.
- Is it secure enough for business use?
- With the process boundaries configured properly, yes. The risk comes from relaxing them for convenience — allowing web content direct access to system capability — and that is a configuration decision rather than a property of the framework.
- When is a web app the better answer?
- When there is no need for local files, offline operation, system integration or a persistent presence. Desktop distribution brings signing, updates and support for multiple operating systems, and that overhead should be buying something specific.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
