React + Tailwind + Vite Electrobun Template

A fast Electrobun desktop app template with React, Tailwind CSS, and Vite for hot module replacement (HMR).

Getting Started

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Development without HMR (uses bundled assets)
bun run dev

# Development with HMR (recommended)
bun run dev:hmr

# Build for production
bun run build

# Build for production release
bun run build:prod

How HMR Works

When you run bun run dev:hmr:

1. Vite dev server starts on http://localhost:5173 with HMR enabled
2. Electrobun starts and detects the running Vite server
3. The app loads from the Vite dev server instead of bundled assets
4. Changes to React components update instantly without full page reload

When you run bun run dev (without HMR):

1. Electrobun starts and loads from views://mainview/index.html
2. You need to rebuild (bun run build) to see changes
