(E.g. In [docs/tutorial/quick-start.md](https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/blob/master/docs/tutorial/quick-start.md#the-browser-side).)\r\n\r\nIs this just me?\r\n\r\nI suggest the terms `front-end` and `back-end`. This sticks with the client-server analogy, and is less confusing (IMO).\r\n\r\nI volunteer to make a PR to the docs if people think this is reasonable."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom-shell/issues/comments/85329776","html_url":"https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/issues/1287#issuecomment-85329776","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom-shell/issues/1287","id":85329776,"user":{"login":"ArtskydJ","id":1833684,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1833684?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ","html_url":"https://github.com/ArtskydJ","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ArtskydJ/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-24T03:52:02Z","updated_at":"2015-03-24T03:52:02Z","body":"Maybe the main reason to move away from using the term \"browser-side\", is that the [`browser-window` module](https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/blob/master/docs/api/browser-window.md) has a misleading name.\r\n\r\nFrom the main/browser process, you create a `BrowserWindow` instance, that is actually a renderer instance. :confused: "}}
