A node web server which serves & manages releases of the your Electron App, and is fully compatible with Squirrel Auto-updater (which is built into Electron).
Note: while I market this as a release server for Electron applications, it would work for any application using Squirrel.
If you host your project on your Github and do not need a UI for your app, then Nuts is probably what you're looking for. Otherwise, you're in the same boat as I was, and you've found the right place!

Follow our guide to deploy Electron Release Server.
This server provides an endpoint for Squirrel auto-updater, it supports both OS X and Windows.
Check out the documentation for more details.
I highly recommend using electron-builder for packaging & releasing your applications. Once you have built your app with that, you can upload the artifacts for your users right away!
This project has been built from the SailsJs base up by Arek Sredzki, with inspiration from nuts.
I've also borrowed some of their documentation! Thanks!
