elixir-desktop/desktop

This system is a cross-platform desktop integration library that provides a unified API for managing windows, menus, and system interactions across native, mobile, and headless environments. It abstracts platform-specific implementations—such as wxWidgets for native desktop, JSON bridges for mobile, and browser fallbacks—into a cohesive backend architecture. The library also includes tooling for environment verification and project scaffolding, alongside robust test coverage for its multi-backend structure.

The project introduced a comprehensive platform abstraction layer to support mobile (iOS/Android) and headless environments alongside native desktop. This involved replacing legacy wxWidgets constant mappings and deprecated modules with a unified backend system that adapts to the target platform. The period also included upgrading dependencies to Phoenix 1.7+ and LiveView 1.0+, while adding extensive test coverage for the new architecture.

This period focused on establishing a robust desktop backend abstraction, introducing a JSON-based bridge for native interactions while maintaining browser and null fallbacks. The work included implementing the HostBrowser for external URL handling and creating comprehensive test coverage for the new platform system and toolchain verification tasks.
