Best option to do desktop apps in Elixir

I’ve been working on a library to make the desktop apps part possible here: GitHub - dominicletz/desktop: Elixir library to write desktop apps with OTP24 & Phoenix.LiveView it all depends on Erlang OTP24 because that includes my pull request to include :wxWebView and so you can have a native window that shows your Elixir LiveView app. So the desktop library brings you all of that and avoids the need to mess around with any of the :wx* libs in your app.

I’ve got a local version of an app builder that produces a .dmg for macOS and a nsis Windows installer but it’s still a work in progress - planning to get that desktop-builder ready for the Code Beam V in May.
