It will use icon files put in `./build`.\n\n## Routes\nRoute              | File               | Description                     |\n-------------------|--------------------|---------------------------------|\n`/`              | `views/main.js`  | The main view\n`/*`             | `views/404.js`   | Display unhandled routes\n\n## Commands\nCommand                | Description                                      |\n-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------|\n`$ npm start`        | Start the Electron process\n`$ npm test`         | Lint, validate deps \u0026 run tests\n`$ npm run build`    | Compile all files into `dist/`\n`$ npm run dev`      | Start the development server\n`$ npm run inspect`  | Inspect the bundle's dependencies\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fespy%2Fwriter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fespy%2Fwriter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fespy%2Fwriter/lists"}
