Tracking Issue: Desktop application

Open Keavon opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

The Graphite desktop app is designed to bring native rendering performance to users and improve ergonomics for file access, font access, and other APIs that have limited or no browser support. Web and desktop will both remain first-class targets.

Tauri is an Electron alternative that uses the local OS's webview to provide a low-overhead web wrapper as a desktop app while keeping the Rust code running natively. Thus, only the GUI runs in JavaScript, and that code is built to be thin and lightweight so the interface remains snappy and fluid (both on web and desktop).

This tracking issue organizes the work that has and will go into stabilizing and releasing this feature. If you're awaiting the desktop app, feel free to subscribe to this issue and check back as more sub-tasks get completed.

The link to Tauri points to https://tauri.studio/ -- should it instead be https://tauri.app?
