I’m interested in taking a Electron project, running it on a server, and connecting to the UI through a browser on my client.
Are there any existing projects that help with building something like this? Or is this functionality in some way built into the Electron framework?

this is not possible, as electron does not provides way to remote its ui into browser.

Not possible to my knowledge, but you could in theory use Express or another Node.js web server, running within Electron on the server, to deliver content to a web browser remotely. Don't know how well it would scale!

Electron is the chrome renderer. Other than that it is just a window and a web-app that is rendered by the chrome renderer.
