Electron version #177

Since VueTube is based on Web Technics, it would be great to have a Electron version for use on devices like the Steam Deck. Linux Smartphones could also profit from this.

I believe Tauri would be a better for this, especially for Linux smartphones.

Since VueTube is made with capacitor, capacitor-community/tauri is needed, which is currently in Alpha. It would be best to use capacitor-community/electron, until Tauri is ready.

But if Linux mobile is the target, Electron doesn't make much sense given it's more power hungry and less performant, and Linux phones are usually very underpowered.

I'm personally not a huge fan of Electron, because of it's resource hungry even on Desktop PCs, but it's the only choice here.Tauri itself has only a release candidate and not a stable release and capacitor-community/tauri, which we need is currently in Alpha, so it should not be used. If everything is ready, Tauri can be used, but for the moment Electron is the only working choice.
