bhari-frame (heavy-frame)

Desktop app for ente.io build with electron and loads of ❤️.

Disclaimer

We are aware that electron is a sub-optimal choice for building desktop applications.

The goal of this app was to

1. provide a stable environment for customers to back up large amounts of data reliably
2. export uploaded data from our servers to their local hard drives.

Electron was the best way to reuse our battle tested code from bada-frame that powers web.ente.io.

As an archival solution built by a small team, we are hopeful that this project will help us keep our stack lean, while ensuring a painfree life for our customers.

If you are running into issues with this app, please drop a mail to [email protected] and we'll be very happy to help.
