Scratch for desktop (and not an editor!?)
Hello everyone I want to share with you something i'm making, something like Scratch's community but for desktop
(uses Tauri)
(below are app screenshots with some initial, unfinished draft design)





Why even?
- Probably faster because doesn't need to load HTML? (only api requests?) (but not much faster?)
- Additional features like fetching from other sources (scratchdb, ocular, etc)
- More informative (scratch API gives a lot of data which website simply doesn't display)
Potential problems:
- Authentication…

Have you made a prototype yet?
Good design. Though maybe make it a bit more consistent and change the upper tabs to be:
-more spaced out
- a rosy white colour
-rounded corners

Blazingly fast ?!Well I'm not sure lol. Page loading is probably a bit faster because it doesn't load HTML like the website does, instead only does API requests
