I want to use electron. I know that raw CSS sucks dick so let’s use a framework. Bootstrap sucks so let’s use tailwind. Oh wait tailwind has a build step? Okay let’s use the CLI. Wait, I’m going to need to be able to plumb runtime data eventually. I think that’s what react is for right? Uhhh if I’m using react is the tailwind CLI going to be good enough? It seems like vite is what people are using for tailwind+react. Okay let’s just commit to that. Hmm this is a lot of setup, should I use a template? Oh wait the main template people are using advertises “full access to node.js apis from the renderer process.” That seems like a terrible fucking idea. Good thing I actually read the electron docs.
I want to die.
