If you can build a website, you can build a desktop app. Electron is a
framework for creating native applications with web technologies like
JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It takes care of the hard parts so you can
focus on the core of your application.

devel/electron{32,34,35,36,37}: temporarily mark as BROKEN on i386
In pre-fetch target, a node process tries to fetch necessary node
modules for building the port. Currently on i386 platform, the process
stalls and eats up all available CPUs until it is killed, which is a
problem.
So temporarily mark electron ports as BROKEN on i386 platform until
the problem is solved.
