Upgrade to the latest electron version to enable the users to use the latest features of Chromium

[manojVivek]

The current implementation uses numerous deprecated APIs from an older version of electron that is preventing us from upgrading to the latest version of Chromium.
It needs a rewrite of the app's core to upgrade to the latest APIs that will facilitate smoother upgrade to the newer Chromium versions as they get released.

@adi-mohan @manojVivek hi :) how is the progress going with this one? Maybe I could try to help? There's already electron version 11 with support for M1. Please let me know, the app is awesome and I would love to help!!

[manojVivek]

@rebzden-baracoda That would be great, please give it a try and let us know if you are getting started.

Is this still something that you are actively working on? Some CSS features are now available that can't be used in Responsively.

I've made a few tries but I'm not really able to solve compatibility issues (my knowledge of the electron is quite limited) ;/

@rebzden What kind of compatibility issues are we talking about? I wouldn't mind helping if possible.
