Electron Desktop Application Implementation #74
Description
Build a cross-platform Electron desktop application with feature parity to our web application, allowing users to process and summarize emails with both online and offline capabilities.
Goals
- Create a seamless desktop experience matching our web application
- Enable offline access to emails and summarization
- Support local LLM integration for privacy and offline use
- Maintain shared codebase where possible between web and desktop
Implementation Considerations
- Due to our python backend, extra work is needed to effectively package FastAPI with all dependencies and manage processes
- A Gradual migration to Node.js post capstone may be a good move to reduce local application overhead/complexity
