StreamLurker v2.0.0 - Rust Update

Please note: This is still an Alpha build. Things can and will break!

As a bit of a weekend project, I decided to rewrite StreamLurker into Rust with Tauri. It's been a while since I last made changes to this project as it's mostly been working just fine, but since I wanted to try something new, here we are!

What's improved?

  1. Size - The overall size of StreamLurker is now a lot smaller since it's no longer using Electron
  2. Versions - The old electron version was having issues on MacOS, specifically ARM based. This now supports it!
  3. Speed - The speed of loading StreamLurker has been improved!
  4. Setup - Gone are the days where you'd need to register your own application to get StreamLurker working. It's now just a few clicks to get it connected to your twitch account!

What's working?

Pretty much all of the functionality from the original electron version of the app has been ported over. There will be some bugs, some of them are already known, but it's not stopping this from being functional! You can still lurk on streamers, get notifications when they go live and predictive go lives is now more stable too!

What's not working?

Migration... whilst it would have been nice to be able to migrate from the original app, it's a little out of scope for this rewrite. You will need to re-add all of the streamers again if you were using version 1 of StreamLurker.

There's also still a few buttons here and there that are not connected properly, such as the ability to import all of your followed streamers into the app. This will be resolved in later versions!
