Migrate from Electron -> Wails

[zan-preston]

I'm generally curious about @adibhanna and others' thoughts about the feasibility and payoff of migrating from electron to Wails for the Desktop app wrapper?

Why Wails and not Tauri?

Wails, because Golang.

Why move from Electron?

I'm not just trying to pile on as an "Electron Hater". I understand the practicality, especially as one is rapidly building a new project like this. But also, everyone knows it inevitably seems to come with bloat and some sort of cost down the road. I also say this as someone who has never built or supported an Electron App, not to mention a Wails app.

thank you for sharing this. So the vision is to eventually move the app to Rust. But first i need to finalize some of the main features.

@adibhanna Oh cool! So Tauri would actually be the better fit in the Rust ecosystem then. I'll be curiously following along 😄
