A small correction: It *is* actually web-based (specifically Vue), but it's not Electron, it's Tauri. Mainly, making it web-based, while it might be disappointing, makes the most sense logistically, since it allows us to reuse code between the website and the launcher. Also, we weren't able to find a Rust GUI lib that satisfied all our needs.

Written in Rust, this is not yet-another Electron thing but instead uses Vue.


Not quite. Vue is the UI framework (which can be used in both Electron and Tauri), but Tauri is used as the runtime instead of Electron.
