Hi!

Very excited to see that there is a desktop application being made to compliment open-webui, which in itself is already a great project.

Just an FYI that there are some very lightweight electron alternatives available, Wails (golang backend), and Tauri (rust backend). I have recently used Wails with great success. Wails makes use of the native OS binaries for web rendering, which results in a much smaller bundle size than most electron apps.
