I'm making big progress on the #tauri version of #deltachat_desktop

So far it only takes 38 mb 📦 (78mb installed) in package size instead of the 150mb 📦(323mb installed) of the Delta Chat Desktop #electron version.

I'll keep you updated in this thread.

Shows Chatlist and a chat with the following conversation (interface is set to German, so I translate it here): [Info message: Today] [Info message: From this point onwards messages are guaranteed to be E2E encrypted, tab here to learn more] B: Hello 👋 [hearth emoji reaction] A: Hello my friend, writing here from Delta Chat Tauri [rocket emoji reaction] B:🤩 B: Image with deltachat and tauri logo connected by a line from which an arrow extends to the delta tauri project logo (which is the deltachat logo with the white border replaced by a gradient that was based on the tauri logo color)

tauri version source code is meanwhile available on github.com/deltachat/deltachat…

not yet ready for daily use but basic functionality like sending, receiving messages and files and html emails work. notable things that are still in development are notifications, tray icon and webxdc.

Also at this point in time you need to compile from source as there are no "releases" yet.

Code for #deltatauri is now public!

For now it contains only the most basic functionality - so more for the fellow developers to try out or/and review my code 😉. That being said, it is already surprisingly usable.

How to build/try it you need rust, nodejs, pnpm and maybe also tauri dependencies. (see https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/) pnpm i pnpm dev:tauri Features: What already works: basic features ...

Dear @treefit
I am trying to build #deltatauri on ArchLinux and I have issues running the resulting binary.
Upon launch it prints:
Failed to setup app: error encountered during setup hook: current logfile does not exist

I am removing all the targets except of deb, then building like normal and moving files into place.
sed -i 's/"targets"\: "all"/"targets"\: ["deb"]/' packages/target-tauri/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json5
pnpm install
cd packages/target-tauri
pnpm tauri build

Can you please think of where I am failing likelly? I can run binaries built elsewhere so I guess webkit-gtk and other dependencies are installed.

@treefit Hmm, I can't get it to work no matter what I'm trying.
When I have started my $XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable was not set meaning it should fall back to the default ~/.local/share as per the XDG spec.
I have added it into my /etc/profile.d/0000-xdgdirs.sh file, rebooted, rebuilt delta-tauri with its dependencies but I'm still getting the same error.
Printing $XDG_DATA_HOME now gives me /home/myusername/.local/share, the directory does exist with 0755 permissions and it contains nested directories created by other apps on my system.
Is there a way to find out what the file path and the file name of the resulting log file should be?
