Investigate best build tool #694

Investigation

Many solutions out there. Currently, we're using electron builder, which is fine, but a little lackluster since it uses NSIS under the hood for windows updates (poor UX).

We should pick a build tool option out of:

  • electron builder (nsis)
  • electron forge (squirrel)
  • velopack

Factors to consider

  • DX
  • Migration experience (we'll need to run at least one electron builder + new builder build in parallel)
  • Installation experience
  • Update experience
