body:
|
|
|
|
The first desktop MVP moved Thinkloom from the workspace framework into a Tauri
|
|
2 application. React and TypeScript provided the interaction surface, while the
|
|
Rust service layer took responsibility for local persistence and native
|
|
operations.
|
|
|
|
This milestone connected the main workflow end to end: project state, idea
|
|
curation, drafting, version history, provider boundaries, exports, backups, and
|
|
an inspectable provenance trail. SQLite held live state while canonical files
|
|
and hidden Git checkpoints provided durable, reviewable recovery points.
|
|
|
|
The goal was not merely to wrap a web interface in a desktop shell. The native
|
|
boundary made local files, operating-system credentials, atomic writes, and
|
|
offline ownership part of the product itself.
