Hey everyone!
I’m working on a Directus Desktop App that integrates with Directus using Electron. It's still a work in progress, but here's what I’ve done so far:

Directus integration to manage the CMS directly from the app.
Access token handling, using electron-store to manage tokens securely.
Dynamically showing version numbers and other info in the Help menu.

I’m looking for ideas, suggestions, or contributions! Whether it’s feedback on the current features or new ideas for future improvements, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Cool idea, any insights from the resource usage? Are electron apps still demanding?

I have a python app that uses diretus as a backend/datastudio, could I bake that python app into the same electron app and kind of install the whole thing on say a colleagues comp?

#

Also, wow, really cool.

As a background service with the window/dashboard closed (It's service with a tray icon), it currently uses about 80 MB of RAM. When the UI is open, it uses around 180 MB. This behavior is similar to a Chrome tab being open when tested with my Directus app.
