Spent about 2 days last week giving creating desktop apps for @silverbulletmd another try. One using @TauriApps but the amount of work I'd have to do in Rust is more than I need right now (really trying to keep the number of technologies down), and another with #Electron but distributing an entire Chrome based OS with an app like this is just... ugly. Let alone all the app signing shenanigans. Yuck. For now just parked this all on a branch again, maybe I'll get back to it again at some point.

This is why I dropped the desktop and mobile apps originally a few years ago and well all in on #PWA. It easy to forget how nice web developers have it not having to deal with all the desktop stuff.

@zef @silverbulletmd @TauriApps i believe the app way is not going well with the KISS principles and is probably not the right direction for silverbullet indeed. What i love is that it is light, not bloated. And i would love to see it go on that path. Will you consider your other options like hosting and tunneling features then?

@chickenkiller yes, this was my preference anyway but just wanted to check what the current desktop landscape looks like.
