It is using same client and server code base with some changes like:

- switching from PostgreSQL database to SQLite

- requests are handled with IPC

- no account management, just single user

Why Electron app when there is already self hosted client? I think there are some people, who don't want all features from self hosted version and using desktop app might be easier for them or it is just better alternative (be it maintenance, security, features).

Published versions are advised to be for testing purposes only due to possibly many bugs. They can be found here:

Thank you and feel free to try it or ask if you are interested in anything.
