Agreed, @defunkt's suggestion is much more approachable. Is "in" the right word there grammatically?

Build cross platform applications with web technologies

from electronjs.org-old.

I think we can get more descriptive on the tagline, but maybe a hybrid of the two? I want to keep the tone of the brand as well. Let me know your thoughts on the below.

Cross platform desktop application shell
Build cross platform applications in web technologies

What about...
Electron: Subatomic shell to build native apps with web technologies

from electronjs.org-old.

I feel you @cameronmcefee can we say "with" if we're going that route?

I'd advocate for describing what you can do with Electron over describing the Electron software itself in the big tagline. Subtle difference but basically I mean something like:

Build cross platform desktop apps with web technologies.

as opposed to

Toolkit for building cross platform apps with web technologies.

I also think it'd be best to avoid using "shell" when explaining Electron as for many programmers a shell is something different.

Atom itself offers the ability to "Install Shell Commands":

Finally I'd suggest going with "desktop apps" vs "native apps" as Electron isn't really for building apps using native components and saying "desktop" makes it clear that it's not for mobile development.

Build cross platform desktop apps with web technologies.

I think this works, any oppositions to just updating it now?

Great! Thanks for the clarification @defunkt.

@kevinsawicki - go for it.
