simplex-desktop

A desktop application for simplex-chat. WIP, contributions are welcome.

Architecture

For the back end we rust with tauri and frontend is built with yew-rs

For developers

1. You will need Rust; you can most easily install this with rustup:

   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

2. You will need some software libraries; installing these may vary depending on your operating system; a recipe for Ubuntu is given here, but Tauri's Getting Started has steps for each popular platform.

   sudo apt install -y libgtk-3-dev libsoup2.4-dev libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

3. Then you will need Yew; find detailed instuctions in Yew's Getting Started:

   rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
   cargo install --locked trunk
   cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli

4. And you will need the Tauri CLI:

   cargo install --locked tauri-cli

Now you should be able to to run the app with

cargo tauri dev
