I'm diving into desktop app development and trying to combine React with Electron, but it's been really confusing for me. I've got a basic grasp of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, but the documentation for React and Electron just isn't clicking. I feel like I'm just copying code without understanding it. What should I focus on learning first? Any tips on what concepts are crucial to grasp before I go further with React and Electron?

It seems pretty broad, but can you clarify what kind of app you're aiming to create? What features do you need? Have you built similar apps with just JS, HTML, and CSS? It might help to start from there and understand what pieces you need for your project.
I'm looking to create a calculator app on my desktop. I did it before without Electron and React, but the pre-loaded files and structure are throwing me off this time.
