Hi everyone,

I've been working recently on Lune - think Wails or Tauri, but written in Crystal.

FYI, this is still quite new and I keep iterating and adding more features but so far, it's been a really fun experience and so nice to write Crystal (Ruby-like syntax if you've never seen Crystal) in the backend.

A disclaimer for Windows users that my primary(only) workstation is mac, so I haven't been able to test things out on actual windows hardware, but I've included some basic (untested) support for now.

If there's anyone curious about Crystal and native apps, have a look at the docs, maybe you find it interesting - and if you really like it (or hate it), contributions are welcome!

Hi Ruby gang,

For any Crystal enthusiasts (or exploring any new ideas), I published v0.1 of lune.
If you've played around with Wails or Tauri, then Lune is that, but written in Crystal.
Write Ruby-like syntax and get yourself a compiled binary with embedded assets via Crystal's macros.

For Windows users, I'm developing this exclusively on my mac and at the moment there are some fundamental issues observed with the final build, so unfortunately lune won't be of much help here :(

If you are curious and end up having a look, would love to get some early feedback while this evolves and becomes more stable.
