The problem

Mainstream browsers treat privacy as a setting you opt into, buried behind defaults tuned for advertising. Hardening one after the fact only goes so far when the engine itself is not on your side.

The approach

Evaluated Tauri against Electron and chose Electron: the bundled Chromium costs binary size but gives direct control over the engine's privacy surface, which is the whole product. Architected a phased roadmap — the TypeScript/Electron client first, with a Rust (Axum) backend service in the next phase to take sync and heavier work off the renderer.

In active development. The architecture decision and phased roadmap are set; the Electron client is the current phase.
