Desktop Application #77

Open ezra-en opened 4 months ago

ezra-en commented 4 months ago

There appears to be demand for a desktop app. https://discord.com/channels/1113119653246545961/1207658838925385770

I propose we use Tauri to begin with. It's lighter than Electron, allows us to reuse our existing web-app frontend, and can support localhost if needed for self-hosting via their 1st-party localhost plugin for production use.

Tauri will allow us to iterate on top of our existing web app while providing more stable data access interfaces (via their rust bindings to sql) and because it's cross-platform, allows us to bring an enhanced desktop experience very quickly to all desktop users.

There is an option for mobile builds, but that is still in beta. imo, it would be better for us to design a separate mobile application optimised for that platform, rather than deriving off of the web-app's mobile layout.

+1 for Tauri - blazingly fast, small bundle size, compatible with web frameworks
