Agree with @brodybits

Makes sense. I have updated PR title and also added mention of Windows as suggested. The only thing pending now is to make explicit mention of what people can contribute.

amilajack commented 4 years ago

These are the two main areas that I think we need contributions from:

Implementing require
Embedding node

Only a small subset of electron API's are actually used when compared to the usage of nodejs by electron apps.

I have updated the doc. Feel free to make further edits by modifying my PR. Thanks.

paramaggarwal commented 4 years ago

Just came across https://github.com/mceSystems/node-jsc - I think this is our answer.

amilajack commented 4 years ago

Good find! We'll also need something like this for windows as well

Looks like node-jsc was last updated in October of 2018, so probably not the best idea to adopt it for a new project. It's two Node LTS releases behind so many packages on npm already dropped support for Node 8.
