This looks like a great way to get away from electron. Build js apps for the desktop without the overhead of electron

I remember those days, everything ran locally or through a fat client. You really used the hardware you had. I wish and pray we get back there

All government systems should be on-prem, and secured by proper personnel. None of the data should be in a cloud providers hands, even by their own country's providers. There needs to be a separation between business and government infrastructure.

Democratize it and of you require an app on the phone that same app needs to be available on all major pc OSes. Problem solved.

Any Windows Server support coming?

Not in the very short term, but we've talked about it internally and we might do it in the future!

If you'd like to use Subtrace on Windows, it would be super helpful to understand your use-case deeply so that we build the right things in the right order. Please reach out to me at adtac@subtrace.dev, I'd love to chat!

This explains why Windows wsa is going away, since it was tied to this.

What was the decision to use typescript? It looks like another electron app

What specifically makes apps look like they've been built using electron?

Looks like it's made with Tauri and React, rather than Electron.

This gives me hope that we can get native apps back again, and collaborative work through them without the browser or a central authority

Many of us never stopped writing native apps.

When I was at Apple (2010-2015) every app was Local First. In fact they legally had to be to be sold in Germany, where iCloud cannot be mandatory (they have a history of user data being abused).

You’ll notice when the network goes down all your calendars email contacts and photos are still there. The source of truth is distributed.

Client side apps writing to local db with background sync (application specific protocols) works excellently. You just don’t write your UI as a web page.

Any plans on making this a native app without the overhead of having a server service running?

Hi. I'm not planning a native app at this time. I created an experimental native app using Godot, but in the end I decided to focus on the web app. The app is a PWA so it provides a native like experience if that is desired (works on both mobile and desktop)--this is how I use it when I'm on my phone or tablet. Most users likely already have an ADS-B tracker that usually includes a local lighttpd web server for 2D traffic viewing. The app integrates with these existing setups. Users who don't want to alter their setup can run the app using the included Vite development server and websocket proxy to connect to a ADS-B tracker. Instructions are in `docs/LOCALHOST-SETUP-GUIDE.md`.
