Show HN: Raincast – Describe an app, get a desktop app (open source)

Well, while Tauri is certainly nice, it's not quite what I imagine when I hear "native".

That live preview sounds pretty neat!

This looks like a massive level-up for the "AI-to-Software" pipeline. Moving from simple web-app generation to actual native desktop apps is a huge step for utility—especially if it handles the boilerplate for system-level APIs. The fact that it's open-source is a great move for the HN crowd. I’m curious, what are you using under the hood for the desktop shell? Is it wrapping an Electron/Tauri instance, or is it generating something like Rust/Python natively? Clean UI on the site, too. Excited to see where this goes!
