Desktop app?

[TheMikeyRoss]

Any consideration to make a desktop app using Electron that allows users to use UI instead of the terminal? Similar to how Github Desktop is replacing terminal usage

Some time ago I was thinking about something similar but away from electron (as I'm not a big fan of this).

What I came up with was an option that would start a local http server that would allow interaction through the browser. For this I would use npkill as a backend and communicating with the frontend via websocket. I'll probably play with it these days!

@zaldih Oh that's actually a much better and easier way! very clever 👍. And the UI can be anything (group by x) (view as list/grid) and many more possibilities!

You can start an MVP with a minimal UI and then things can be added around to make the UI better and so on
