Description

Hi,
This issue only applies to the desktop version, but the issue tracker is disabled on that repo so I asssume this tracker should be used.

I would suggest switching from electron to [tauri](https://tauri.studio) once it is out of beta.
Reasons for tauri:
- faster startup
- smaller bundle size
- less memory usage
- more focused on security

Here you can find a more detailed comparsion of both frameworks:
