It looks like it's a lot of sensible defaults UI libraries to use, UX framework presets, etc, designed for an end user who doesn't know what Node or Electron or Rust or Tauri are. Plus, the page describes an app sharing mechanism as well built-in.
replyTo be honest, but I would love to have some ecosystem around building apps which lets me share my custom apps with team members in my organization. Without having to take care of updating, provisioning, and distributing the app, etc.
replyeven better if the apps are not electron bloated and mac-native.
Reading what they're offering, the stand-out to me is making publishing the applications easy for others on your team to use. That would he a pain point for non technical users.
replyI get your point. But if sharing with others is a vital part of this, then ... they'd be better off sticking to web apps instead :)
"Create with glaze, hit publish and we'll give you an url".
replyEven though they portray some of the benefits of this app as unique to desktop apps, they're not (e.g. storing data on device, offline mode etc.).
Am not a hater. Love Raycast. Saw the post and opened the link intrigued what they came up with and was somewhat disappointed tbh. Good luck to them anyway!
I think their value add if you’re comfortable with Claude Code is probably some nice tooling for the packaging, and they probably sign apps for you too?
