  If you have built an app with Electron, you know how annoying dealing with IPC can be.

  This provides an alternative way to build powerful UIs in electron without having to go through the IPC layer by instead treating your main process like a "server" that just sends HTML directly to the renderers. That way your views can directly make use of any node module or data on the main side. All without actually starting a server!

  Let me know if there are any side by side examples youd like to see!
