A year ago, my co-founder launched Desktop Docs here on HN. It's a Mac app we built with Electron that uses CLIP embeddings to search photos and videos locally with natural language. We got positive feedback from HN and our first paying customers, but the app was almost 1GB and clunky to use.
TLDR; rebuilding in Rust was the right move.
So we rewrote the app with Rust and Tauri and here are the results:
- App size is 83% smaller: 1GB → 172MB - DMG Installer is 70% smaller: 232MB → 69.5

When building a plugin system for an application, avoiding dependency conflicts is critical. To address this, I created Wetlands – a lightweight Conda environment manager.
Wetlands not only simplifies the creation of isolated Conda environments with specific dependencies, but also allows you to run arbitrary Python code within those environments and retrieve the results. It uses the multiprocessing.connection and pickle modules for inter-process communication. Additionally, one can easily

I can tell you the exact moment when a new browser called Deta Surf clicked for me.
I was getting a demo from Deta cofounder Max Eusterbrock, and he showed me how Surf can take screenshots of web pages and add them to a digital pinboard. But unlike a standard screenshot, this one contained a link to jump back to the web page it came from, and its content was searchable from Surf’s menu system.
