@terreng Do you think we should use a http/https request handler or work with the raw sockets? I'd prefer the raw sockets, just because it gives us more control, but with https that would be a pain to figure out if we did it that way. What do you think?

[terreng]

I don't see an advantage to making things harder for ourselves.

@ethanaobrien By the way, here are our latest download numbers:
Mac App Store: 348 (currently charted at #82 in the developer tools category, comes up first when you search for "web server")
Microsoft Store: 430
Direct download (Windows): 606
Direct download (macoS): 67
(Probably around 25 of the direct downloads were just me testing)
Total: 1451

@ethanaobrien Here are some updated numbers.
Mac App Store: 454
Microsoft Store: 648
Direct download: 1491
Total: 2593
We're coming up at the top of Google search results for "simple web server" and "basic web server"

@terreng When you get the chance, could you bump tauri to version 2. I plan to use Actix web as the backend for the rust version for simplicity and ease.

[terreng]

Sure, I'll add this to my to-do list. It might be about time that I re-evaluate Tauri now that 2.0 is out. This branch is probably also super stale at this point.

[terreng]

@ethanaobrien Alright I updated it to Tauri 2.0. It should work if you run npm install and then npm run tauri dev from root.

Keep in mind that many things in the UI don't work yet because the corresponding backend code isn't there. To name a few, the language is hardcoded, you can't change the theme, plugins aren't implemented, etc.

The big missing thing for your purposes is the server_states logic (so all of the servers just say "starting..."). Once there's actually a web server implemented on the back end, you can implement server_states just like it works in the electron version.

[terreng]

By the way, here are the latest numbers, for your resume and what have you:
Mac App Store: 19,100
Microsoft Store: 12,017
Direct download: 50,877
Total: 81,994

Direct download count includes versions 1.2.9 - 1.2.12. Anyone upgrading between those versions is double counted, but that number is probably small because the "update available" banner only shows for people before on versions before 1.2.9 since nothing major has changed after that. Direct download does not count people on older versions who are ignoring the update.

[ethanaobrien]

Awesome! I'll get to this when I get the chance (may be a bit with life)
