zeekayandHanzo Dev 407951c888 ship the screenshot inside the template's own build
The gallery card needs an image, and the existing catalog convention points
`preview` at gallery.hanzo.ai/screenshots/<slug>.png — which 404s for anything
added after that host was last built (verified: mobile.png is 404 today).

A native app cannot be iframed, so the card image matters more here than
anywhere else. Putting `public/preview.png` in the template makes the shot part
of the ONE artifact the template already deploys: it is served from
<slug>.hanzo.app/preview.png, it renders in the README on GitHub, and a fork
gets it for free. No second host to keep in sync, no link that can rot
independently of the thing it depicts.

Editor

CodeMirror 6 code editor in a Tauri window — real filesystem tree, syntax highlighting, ⌘S writes through.

A Hanzo desktop template: one codebase, three installers (macOS, Windows, Linux) and a web build. Fork it, npm i, ship.

Why this exists

A native app cannot be iframed, so the gallery preview is a real build of the same UI — not a screenshot and not a dead link. src/native.ts is the only file that knows whether it is running inside the Tauri window or a browser tab; everything above it is one app.

Stack

Layer Choice
Shell Tauri v2 (Rust core, system webview — installers are single-digit MB, not 150 MB)
UI React 19 + Vite 7 + TypeScript
Backend @hanzo/base — collections, realtime, CRDT
Runtime a.hanzo.ai analytics + chat, loaded from index.html
Native filesystem tree + read/write (std::fs), native folder picker (tauri-plugin-dialog)

Run

npm install
npm run desktop        # Tauri dev window
npm run dev            # browser, same UI, web fallbacks
npm run desktop:build  # installers for the host OS
npm run build          # static web build -> dist/

Linux build deps: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libgtk-3-dev librsvg2-dev patchelf.

Backend

src/base.ts points at https://base.hanzo.ai. Point a fork at its own with VITE_BASE_URL. Base is optional — the app renders and works offline, the status bar just says so.

Release

Push a v* tag. .github/workflows/release.yml fans out to macOS (arm64 + x86_64), Windows and Linux runners and attaches .dmg / .msi / .AppImage / .deb to the GitHub release. Desktop bundles must be built on their target OS, which is why this one workflow uses per-platform runners.
