| Runtime | Tauri 2.0 | ~15MB RAM, native performance |
| Frontend | Svelte 5 | Smallest bundle, best reactivity |
| Backend | Rust | Zero-cost abstractions, system APIs |
| Styling | CSS | Glassmorphism, animations, no deps |
| Weather | Open-Meteo | Free, no API key needed |
| Media | MPRIS/playerctl | Universal Linux media control |
