Replace electron with Tauri
Using Tauri/Rust instead of Electron, we could use libtorrent bindings for Rust and abandon the Python ones.
To do it the backend aka src/main will be needs to be made into Rust. Around 3K LOC. I can do it when I'm free soon.
We could do it in other ways like compiling src/main into a nodejs embedded exe and calling src/render in a webview but that would be a hassle to develop and maintain.
https://github.com/socketsupply/socket is another alternative but I haven't tried it yet.
Buddy, there is absolutely no reason to migrate all this code to another stack. Electron works just fine. If you want to collaborate in other features or talk about the project, feel free to join our Discord server

chubby explained that the memory problem was related to the search system, sqlite limitations, i agree, changing to another stack wont fix the problem entirely.
@NoelJacob I said that it was okay to open a pull request, and it is indeed fine. We can go through the pros and cons of the implementation, but I don't really think that it's viable to refactor the whole Hydra codebase right now, specially the scrapers. But let me know what you think.
Yeah, ok, then spending time simply making a pr now would be waste since like refactoring all JS in the backend isn't doable now. Maybe I could do later. As for pros, they are mainly low download size and much of code will be in rust. Nothing more.
