A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

This is rough. The ToDesktop guy started as a single dev (he might have a team now) and slowly built a successful product over time. This is my nightmare with anything I build.

OSS + Rust. Prev: @adbot. My goal in life is the ability to stop thinking at will

that’s the right approach, particularly in the context of sensitive data.

I once worked with a DeFi startup and their dashboard for trading’s strategies was a bundled Electron app in a similar manner. Easy to deliver and looks “premium” to have a native app. That raised al kinds of flags in my mind.

Sadly, this increases the number of moving pieces and a taller stack topples over quicker.

Fine for some cases (eg. maybe Linear doesn’t hold sensitive data), critical in others.

Good tips for protecting yourself. And maybe I shouldn’t, but I feel for the ToDesktop founder. He lost a huge customer (and probably many others) after this. Feels like it could happen to any of us.

Electron mentioned. Yeah, people should really start using rust/tauri2 instead. Would fix a lot of issues
