I built a clean Electron + React + Shadcn starter so I'd never have to wire it up from scratch again

Short summary

Developer published an open-source GitHub starter template combining Electron, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Shadcn/UI to eliminate repetitive desktop app setup. The template includes pre-configured build tools, state management (usm-redux), and solves the preload script HMR issue that commonly breaks Vite in Electron projects. Available to clone with single-command builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
