How difficult would something like this be to port to Visual Studio? P.S. looks like a great app!

  author here: I have zero experience with Visual Studio API, and honestly, looking at what a giant and slow mess VS became, I would not even try it :) But providing a standalone desktop/terminal version is on the list.

    Ah, desktop/terminal would be awesome! It's just too easy to loose track of browser tabs. :-)

What would it take to have this as a desktop app? As I see it it is rust and wasm. It would be nice to have some note about the architecture in the docs, maybe someone would pick it up to make a desktop app from it too.

  Hi, it would not be hard at all, at the moment for me it would be like 1 day of work. Honestly, I just don't see its benefit, you can always open it on a dedicated browser and use it as it would be a desktop app. However, in the next release I might provide a desktop version.

    Well, I prefer to use browsers as, well browsers instead of app hosts..., to many tabs, too many distractions, and not that fast )the whole browser, not a given page). Just using an app that I can open and close anytime is much preferable to me. Currently using speedcrunch for this, but your solution looks a bit more feature full and maybe a good middle-ground between a calculator and just firing up ipython or similar. All in all a desktop version would be much appreciated, but I understand if it's not a focus for you. For the technical part: what do you think, what would you use in rust to turn this intu a regular gui app?
