Clear and concise description of the feature you are proposing
I've been using the tool as a Tauri executable (.AppImage for Linux in my case, as it only supports .dev and .AppImage on Linux), which provides some benefits:
Offline first, without the need for specific PWA configurations. Quick loads every time, independent of the worker cache
Small builds depending on compilation targets, with more control over the bundle
Extensibility, as the bridge to system calls allows for features not supported on the web platform, a global color-picker could be an example
The ability to publish the app on different stores
While the application built just fine with Tauri's default steps inside a container, I've been struggling to make hardware acceleration work with it, which seems to be a platform issue, it also doesn't support flatpak builds yet, it's an upcoming v2 feature. Alternatives like Electron could be a better short term solution
Is their example of this tool in the wild?
DevToys is a similar application that works as a standalone executable
Additional context
We could have a docker stage for building the executable. While self-hosting also works offline, this would make exposing a server an optional requirement and not the only way to run the app locally.
Validations
[X] Check the feature is not already implemented in the project.
[X] Check that there isn't already an issue that request the same feature to avoid creating a duplicate.
[X] Check that the feature can be implemented in a client side only app (IT-Tools is client side only, no server).
