Hey guy, i have just been introduced to Electron and I have some questions about a project I have to complete across the year:
Is it possible to develop a portal like desktop application app with electron? I want to make an app that connects to a school's local database and then allows teachers to sign into the app and view information on their pupils like grades, attendance etc. I want this app to also generate graphs for each pupil's relative progress so that the teacher can easily monitor it. Also, I want to encorporate features, where the teacher can view their timetable as well as the timetable of a pupil and I want to have a notes like feature whereby the teacher can make and access quick notes they have taken for themselves.
It sounds like a lot, but I want to know whether it is possible to achieve such a thing with electron and if so, what sort of technologies/ libraries should I look into? I have some programming experience but this project has a long time frame in order to allow for learning.

Could you please elaborate on this, is it not possible with electron or is electron not necessary?
Possible by why?
Desktop app instead of opening page in browser
Same result but easier to manage
That's the requirements I have been given, believe me, I wanted to use a web broswer from the start, but I am not allowed to.
Electron is a web browser
If you supposed to use remote database you can use webserver as well
Opening web page in electron
you should try to use Angular together with Electron for the frontend, which is pretty easy to learn and has a lot of short-term potential
definetly not
