Desktop Apps
Native desktop software for Windows and Mac, built mainly in Rust: media suites, editors, and tools that stay fast after install day.
I design and ship desktop products that do one job well. Rust for the core in most of them, with Tauri, GPUI or Slint for the interface depending on the app. The interface is treated as part of the product, not a skin on top of a CLI.
Process
- 01Scope the job the app is actually for
- 02Architecture in Rust with a thin UI shell
- 03Polish the surface: type, density, empty states
- 04Package, sign, and ship a real installer
