Based on electron-builder. We need code signing certificates to start this work.

On Windows, the app informed me there was a new version, did I want to download it? I said yes and it brought me to the GitHub page. I identified the download I wanted, and of course the code is now signed, so that bit worked well.

An improvement could be to simply download the new version rather than taking me to GitHub. Maybe even run the installer when it has downloaded.

There is quite a bit of plumbing involved to deploy a robust and secure "automatic updates" feature, but it is doable, and made slightly easier thanks for electron-builder. See https://www.electron.build/auto-update
