Nesktop: Offline "Desktop" Next.js App

Nico Prananta — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 06:43:07 +0000

So I made something on the weekend. I needed a GUI app for my project that could access the file system. Normally, I'd go with Swift for macOS or Electron for cross-platform needs. However, building a native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux is time-consuming, and even Electron, though web-based, comes with its own set of challenges.

So, I thought, since I'm used to make Next.js apps, why not develop a Next.js app instead and publish it to NPM? This way, anyone can run it locally without cloning the repo or installing dependencies. It's essentially like an Electron app but without the headaches of managing window lifecycles, understanding the process model, or handling packaging and code signing.

I finally created a Next.js template which allows you to bundle the production build and publish it as an NPM package.

Say hello to Nesktop. Please read the README for more details.

I thought I was going to fail at blogging every day for the 10th week. But thankfully, the universe provided an idea, and I managed to publish 5 articles as planned.

useSyncExternalStore is awesome - Here, I demonstrate how React's useSyncExternalStore hook can be used to create a component that only renders in the browser.
The new join relation in Prisma - I shared some insights on the highly anticipated feature from Prisma.
The Quality That Delights: OTP auto fill input - In this post, I discussed the two types of quality and provided the perfect example of it.
The main problem with Next.js 14 now - This article was inspired by my recent experience and that of others.
Using generator function in React - This was a fun one. I experimented with using a generator function in React after reading about the new Vercel AI SDK 3.0.

That's it! Which one do you like? Let me know!
