Desktop (Linux, MacOS, Windows) and Android/iOS application?
Here’s a video on how to do this with electron
https://odysee.com/@DistroTube:2/how-to-turn-any-website-into-a-desktop:b?r=BmnD2fSvimXii1DZ7PNAM5WnhVYmzvwV
I've been experimenting/thinking about this - except with Tauri instead of Electron. I really like working with Rust, and the benefits for using Tauri are very in-line with this project's goals (lightweight, fast, simple)
Another app of mine (Harmony, WIP postman alternative) is only <4mb installed https://github.com/snuffyDev/Harmony
Also @IronMaltese, I've been gone awhile (don't worry, I'm okay!) since I was taking a break from Beatbump to "refresh". I appreciate you greatly for keeping Issues active and for responding to people! I've managed to land an internship (my first tech job!), but my bosses know Beatbump (its the reason they hired me) so they know I'm gonna be working on this!
Keep an eye out for a commit/release very soon! I'm updating SvelteKit and the adapters, as well as hopefully releasing some notes for contributors/instance admins/etc
It’s great to see you back! I knew you said you were looking for a job, so I wasn’t worried, I’m glad you took a break instead of tiring yourself out with such a busy schedule :)
Nice, Electron is a not good choice nowadays, thanks for the activity on the issue and I hope we get an app soon! (No rush though, take your time)
Great to see you back! None of the other desktop options quite work for me (Spotube doesn't like my firewall, nuclear is... nuclear, I don't have the battery for WSA/Bluestacks to run an Android app), so I use Beatbump as a PWA daily. Honestly, I think the PWA replaces the need for a Tauri desktop app. ViMusic does the job on Android.

I just wanted to share my experience, we all know that Nuclear is a different beast of an application entirely, so I've only tinkered around with it for a week or so and I never heard of spotube, but it requiring a spotify account is a dealbreaker. Looking at Hyperpipe, it really has great potential but the interface and reliability hold it back, I don't doubt that these things will be fixed in the future though. Beatbump seems to be the best option right now for simple music listening

Speaking from personal experience, I know people that didn't want to use beatbump because they would rather control their music in an app, and they didn't know what a web-app was, so this feature would definitely help people who are used to apps and want to try beatbump
I've been working with this, ironically also on Tauri, but just found this issue. It seems to compile fine with the couple needed changes to use Tauri (adapter-static related) but otherwise I haven't changed anything. It doesn't quite work yet; but I just need to do a bit more debugging. Last time I checked it worked in dev mode (e.g. yarn dev) though.
More details here, with screenshots
honestly have no clue whatsoever why this error is showing up - Windows 11, SvelteKit 1.0, Tauri (cli) 1.2.2, Rust 1.66.0
On mobile, Tauri is working on support for those devices - but it's still in its first alpha release so it might not be worth adopting at this point in time. Also depends on how much work it is to implement.
just install (ungoogled chromium) go to its settings > performance > check smart memory / discord tab option . search beatbump github select instances url closer to ur area > install and app option will pop up in address bar > click install now u will see new icon on desktop name beatbump Simple open it and see beatbump lite version only consume <70mb ram better than electron
I think it's important to note that this isn't the same thing we're talking about here - it's a PWA (Progressive Web Application), so it's essentially a shortcut to open Beatbump in that browser. It's a solution in the meantime though.
web apps r the future ... i switched from youtube music desktop app to beatbump lite web app which performs way better than full fledged desktop app very lite on sys resources so imo desktop app for beatbump is not necessary when web app gets tht job done and it not just a shortcut to the browser when u use ungoogled chromium not whole browser gets loaded into memory thts y i mentioned to enable performance tweaks memory settings to make it feel like standalone app and for android there r many other alternative like vimusic or if u want alternative frontend there is libretube it turn into music player with just one setting
in short there is no need for desktop app if pwa gets the job done . even if desktop app was possible it would use the same pwa mechanism anyways . just see this repo https://github.com/hxvy0/Beatbump-Desktop

Not necessarily. A PWA is much more than just a browser shortcut, it is much faster and lighter than a regular browser tab, and more system integrated. Some PWAs even work offline
The thing is, an electron app would be slower than the PWA, and Tauri would only be marginally better. I am not sure if it is worth the effort when it already works as a PWA
