Would absolutely love to get linux & macOS included. I don't own a mac so naturally that will need to be community contributed / wait until I cough up the money. Linux is 100% on the agenda.

Thanks for bringing Oculante to my attention - it looks awesome! That level of functionality is what I'm striving for (w/o as much UI clutter though).

I feel the TS & CSS pain. Electro v1.0 was C# WPF and very very very fast but the UI was just rubbish and I knew C# WPF would hold me back in the future. Electro v2.0 was then written in C++ but I didn't get far with it because I REALLY didn't like writing C++. Electro v3.0 was then written with Electron + TS + CSS but electron is shit. Finally, I landed where we are today - it struck the perfect balance of performant, modern language, fun to write, allowing for rapid iteration.

Will Electro stay with the TS+CSS+Tauri stack forever? Probably not! As the community grows I hope bring in contributors who are more well versed in the world of low-level image viewers to help guide Electro to be EVEN FASTER & closer to the system level (Like Electro v2.0 aimed to be w/ c++).

For the time being I've decided to just ship with what I have and iterations will come later. I do dream of the day we go frameworkless (to an extent ofc) and render everything from the GPU at nanosecond speeds while also maintaining the sleek feeling Electro currently has!

What UI clutter does oculante have in Zen mode?
