- Froodle 3y agoDev here, totally could, we dismissed it at first as electron is quite bulky containing a whole chromium instance inside the exe. instead we kept it small as possible for the exe version Truth is its not to hard to port to electron We have plans for a full UI version in V2. We are releasing V1 (SPDF is currently in beta) sometime this month. But have begun work on a V2 port to different language and framework.
- cyanydeez 3y agoQuasar.dev provides a full "interoperable" solution to get to electron and others. All the code can be written as regular Vue3, then built for: - SPAs (Single Page App) - SSR (Server-side Rendered App) (+ optional PWA client takeover) - PWAs (Progressive Web App) - BEX (Browser Extension) - Mobile Apps (Android, iOS, …) through Cordova or Capacitor Multi-platform Desktop Apps (using Electron) Might be worth considering if you're going full client.
