Are there any desktop (Electron-like) apps written in Elixir?
Is there something like that one can install on his desktop computer as a stand alone app?
Is it hard to create something like a basic text editor in Elixir you can install on your computer? How would that even work, will the Erlang VM be included inside the app itself?

The final installers are pretty small ~20mb for our app on Linux and MacOS - Yes they are all-in-one, no additional installation of Elixir/Erlang required. The Windows installer is a bit bigger because it needs to package the WebView2 installer as well.
That said I haven’t finished the installer generation to be part of the open source package, but we’re working on that…
Regarding global menu, yes that works on Linux. Systray icons are somewhat tricky on Linux but we have a Elixir dbus implementation that is used where possible. Otherwise it falls back to X api interface from wxWidgets. With that combination we seem to cover most distros.
Cheers!
