Problem Description / Use Case

Instead of running the exe and going to browser make an app which will be installed into our OS. Also edit layout is not there when the server starts but when I got my list or downloads or any other page it automatically pops up in the sidebar ( which shouldn't cause I read in the latest update that it is integrated into settings)

Proposed Solution

Please reply 😊

it automatically pops up in the sidebar

I can't reproduce this on my end, you might need to empty your browser cache and refresh the page,

make an app which will be installed into our OS

A desktop app is not planned right now for the following reasons:

• It will be too much work maintaining 2 release workflows
• I don't want to use Electron (way too heavy), but the only good alternative - Tauri - is too unstable right now
• I haven't found a way to integrate the Go server into the desktop app

I'll accept proof-of-concepts if someone else wants to "solve" these issues (huge ask) before I consider it, so I'll leave this open for now.
