I believe it’s based on Electron (which itself was part of Atom)

Electron (Atom) based?!

I mean, it is basically Electron

Electron was originally known as "Atom Shell"!

Hence Electron :)

Electron (formerly called Atom-shell) was created for Atom.

The source you cited even says this!

Wikipedia says it's not a fork of atom but based on electron. Does that make a difference?

It is electron...

__derek__ | karma 1898 | avg karma 1.98 · | 2017-02-28 00:55:52

It's built on Electron, which was created as the heart of Atom.

The same can be said of Electron.

This is actually backwards: Electron was originally created for the Atom project and even used to be called Atom Shell.

Electron was extracted from Atom and was originally named Atom Shell. I don't see your point.

manojlds | karma 5720 | avg karma 3.11 · | 2017-02-15 01:08:27

Atom and Electron are themselves huge contributions.

rcarmo | karma 26588 | avg karma 5.05 · | 2022-07-26 01:27:40

Electron. I don’t think that needs explaining, but happy to do so if required.
