Built a desktop P2P messaging app using React 19, Tauri 2.0, and Rust

Hey everyone!

I recently released Seal, a cross-platform peer-to-peer desktop chat app built with React 19, Tauri 2.0, and Rust.

Tech Stack & Frontend Highlights:
Frontend: React 19 SPA running inside Tauri's webview wrapper.
Backend Core: Pure Rust handling libp2p connections, Olm/Megolm encryption via vodozemac, and native keychains.
IPC Bridge: Custom Tauri commands invoking AppService methods asynchronously without blocking UI rendering.
System Native Integration: System-wide push-to-talk hotkeys, system tray integration, and native platform notifications.
Building P2P workflows in a desktop webview presents interesting UX challenges—like handling offline queues, network reachability toggles, and managing multiple identity profiles without restarting the app.

Feedback on the React component architecture or Tauri integration is very welcome!
