### 😎 Features

- Create webview windows with your own title and URL

- Bidirectional communication between your frontend and backend

- Compile your apps as executables and even make installers

- And most of what you get with Deno, e.g, TypeScript out of the box...

A lot is still missing, but we will get there!

### 🎁 Demo

~~**Note**: Latest public release only supports Windows and Linux, MacOS is not

supported. This will be fixed in the next release.~~

⚠️ **This will fail as Astrodon is currently unmaintained**

~~Run the demo:~~

```

deno run -A --unstable --reload https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/examples/hello_world/demo.ts

```

### 📜 To-do

- [x] Unit tests

- [x] Cross-platform compiling (missing: Apple Silicon)

- [ ] Typescript checking in the background (astrodon-build's Develop should

      manage this)

- [x] Pass permission and arguments as flags and also put them in the executable

      metadata

- [x] Organize project a little bit better (e.g move dependencies to deps.ts)

- [x] A real-world app example

- [ ] Update the templates (wip)

- [x] Match `deno_runtime` version (and also things like `Deno.build`) with

      Deno's releases

- [ ] Implement Web Workers

- [ ] Schematize and create plugin system

- [ ] Organize configs by usage hierarchy (e.g. global.icon -> build.icon)

- [ ] Ability apps register custom system URI protocols (installer)

- [ ] Add Cli command `astrodon clean` to remove cached runtimes

- [x] Make Cli's command `astrodon run` also support HTTPs uris

  - [ ] Add support for common permission flags as CLI arguments

## 🤔 Plugins ideas

- [ ] Cross process reactivity module (plugin)

- [ ] Cross process store module (plugin)

- [ ] Env variable manager and injection for builds (plugin)

### 👩‍💻 Development

Requisites:

- Install the tauri dependencies as indicated in

  [Tauri's Guide](https://tauri.studio/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites).

- Rust (stable toolchain)

- Deno

Running both Deno and Rust tests:

```

deno task test

```
