Pros:

  • Not Electron
  • Relatively small, both in file size (17MB binary and 488KB saved cache on Linux) and memory usage (~800-1000MB average with a space open)
  • Notifications

Cons:

  • No support for third party auth

Plans:

  • Linux, macOS, and Windows builds
  • System tray
    • Add options
    • Reactive for notifications
    • Fix monochrome on non-macOS
  • Custom CSS & JS
  • Custom settings
    • Config file
    • Possibly injecting custom settings into web UI (low priority)

Non-plans:

  • Adding features far outside of my use case or a "reasonable" use case
  • Turning this into a "big project" (it doesn't need to be)
  • Mobile builds
