Totally unrelated, but I just came across ur comment [0] from last month about indexing ur search history etc, and ik of a couple programs that fill that niche. The first is spyglass [1], but it's no longer in active development, and the second is this python program, knowledge [2], that I have yet to personally set up (but obviously have an open tab for it, as I plan to eventually lol). So u might want to check these out, especially the latter one, as it's currently in development [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46531526 [1]: https://github.com/spyglass-search/spyglass [2]: https://github.com/raphaelsty/knowledge

In addition to React/Vue, you have the ability to use Rust client-side frameworks such as Yew[0] or seed[1] for a truly full-stack Rust experience. I've been using Tauri + Yew to build an cross-platform app (shameless plug: [2]) and it's been a pleasure. There are some rough edges, but most of those have been due to platform specific issues (notifications, Windows vs Unix paths, etc.) and not Tauri/Yew itself.
