What’s the approximate size of the SVGs vs a gif or compressed video? Using sprites in hidden divs is a fascinating idea

Am I understanding this right — your script publishes a build to NPM that anyone can download, but isn't the latest build (so users won't install it automatically)?

Once I've split up more of the platform-specific things, maybe abstracting Electron out of the backend TS code, I'll come back to these two projects. But, today, we're going with electron!

The reason I opted not to use either came down, essentially, to "how quickly can I spin up the existing UI". Neutralino doesn't have a lot of templates, Buntralino is brand new (and the existing Vite template doesn't work on macOS at all).

As part of this Tauri → Electron migration, I looked pretty hard at a couple interesting projects. Specifically, Neutralino and it's Bun-based sibling project Buntralino. I would love to use either of these projects! They both seem wonderful!

that certainly sounds "more efficient"

thank you, this took me forever to understand

that was a lot harder than I thought it'd be. 6/8 tho!

Seems like if I did that, I’d be building Calibre-Web or Biblioteca again. Both excellent pieces of software, but there’s a higher bar for entry to self-hosting software, over downloading an app.

Plus… I like desktop software. It feels so much more local
