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.

Thanks to #nlnet & #ngi0_entrust for funding this project: nlnet.nl/project/DeltaTauri/.

#deltachat #deltatauri

A screenshot of deltachat tauri. 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)

@m_u_v I'll post the branch link as soon as I have all the basic functionality implemented and it is worth to be tested ;)

My time plan is to reach that goal before the end of the month.

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.

@TauriApps thanks so much for making tauri ❤️
so far it was comparably straight forward to port delta chat desktop from #electron to #tauri

#Electron vs #Tauri in #deltachat_desktop
- 📦 download size: 151mb vs 28mb
- 💾 size on disk: 340mb vs 40mb
- 🧠 RAM usage: 292mb vs 209mb (after fresh start)

Though take it with a grain of salt: #deltatauri does not yet have features implemented and my sample size is just one here 😅
