Electron Development in Newcastle
Building desktop applications with Electron for Newcastle 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

Electron Development in Newcastle — 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 Tyne and Wear?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Newcastle and the surrounding Tyne and Wear area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Newcastle businesses do you usually work with?
- Remote monitoring and data-heavy work from the energy sector sits alongside a steady flow of product builds from the local tech community. Beyond that we work across Digital & Tech, Offshore Energy, Healthcare, Higher Education and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around Newcastle?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Leeds, York. Newcastle is an urban area of roughly 820,000+, and we take on work across the wider Tyne and Wear region rather than the city boundary alone.
