Ellie, I’ve greatly appreciated your work and your talks! Thanks for sharing your insights.

To give a bit more discouraging advice to Ledge, these tldr insights have made me run circles to resolve. My experience is that one will start getting into build system and dependency mapping to make this sustainable. And then if one wants something more universal, one ends up building something like homebrew, which doesn’t even cover all OSs for good reason.

As you dig deep across system dependency and updates and configurations, there are crazy, crazy, crazy cascading bugs that popup from personal experience. As an example of how this comes up in practice, this is why many teams end up building on Electron as a common cross-platform bug fixer (Tauri has catching up to do although generally works well).
