potential feature - switch electron builds to tauri

Open blurymind opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

One thing that has always bothered me by electron is how huge the builds are.

I understand that not everyone loves PWAs like i do and may feel more comfortable with deployed executables. I really want to completely get rid of electron here and replace it with something much smaller.

I also dont want any electron/tauri specific code in the main app - eveything should ideally use standard web api - even if it has limitations

Ideally could go from 100+mb to around 40-50mb?

What is ridiculous is that the pwa app is only 2-3mb. Wish i could deploy an executable that basically just opens the pwa in a browser window with no url (installs it and runs it as a pwa, even when it looks like an electron executable)

Maybe thats the best way to make it more desktop like, but benefit from how tiny it really is.

The electron build system has been borked for years now and really needs removing or replacing for sure
