Happy to see a pure rust implementation

Hey there,

I am quite excited to see this pure rust alternative of Raycast & Spotlight. I read the readme and figured out that you used Tauri at start but found it quite tedious.

I've built one in Tauri already. I just thought you would be interested to check it out.

nice that looks cool! will have to dig into it a bit. I also converted icns to png in rust, but decided to go the swift-rs route because that way it was easier to get proper application names and also system setting icons, which wasn't possible without swift.

I also used Svelte for my Tauri prototype so I guess great minds think alike :)

Thanks 😄

Yep, I faced the same problem. I just downloaded the icons I wasn't able to convert and added them as direct resources.

Haha, It was quite easy to work with Svelte in this case.
