+Executing `npm start` immediately after creating the app will reliably produce two errors due to [an issue with electron](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/41614)that is currently marked as "wontfix." The appropriate solution for you depends on your specific app, but a temporary fix can be performed with two changes to `main.js`. First, comment out line 23 (`mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools()`), second, add `app.disableHardwareAcceleration()` at the end of the file.
