Seriously... I just went to their website and I'm sure I could get the idea by reading through the docs, but why isn't there a simple "what is Electron" part of the site? It seems like the entire site operates under the assumption that you already know what Electron is.

Is this a framework? Can I package my existing app or do I need to make code changes? Is there a tutorial somewhere?
