Summary

Add Electron support for offline desktop application

Changes

  • Add Electron configuration (electron.js): Creates a desktop app wrapper with embedded Express server
  • Update package.json: Add Electron dependencies and build scripts for Windows executable
  • Local HTTP server: Uses Express to serve the web app locally, avoiding file protocol issues
  • Offline-first: No external network dependencies - all resources served from local files

Key Features

  • Fully functional offline image conversion
  • Builds to standalone Windows executable (.exe)

Technical Approach

  • Embeds an Express server inside Electron
  • Serves the original build files via http://localhost:[random-port]
  • Preserves all original web app functionality without modifications
