byGalax c9b885b91c perf(call): screen-share hybrid — OS picker + WASAPI audio
Strip the sourceId-gated chromeMediaSource + xcap native capture paths
from startScreenShare and collapse to a single setScreenShareEnabled
call. Neither of the bypassed paths produced smooth frames in WebView2:
chromeMediaSource: 'desktop' is an extension-only Chromium constraint
and throws outside extension origins, and the xcap JPEG-over-IPC
fallback couldn't sustain 30fps at 1080p on a single main-thread.
setScreenShareEnabled goes through Chromium's native getDisplayMedia
capture, which is the only path that gets HW-accelerated frames into
the WebRTC encoder from WebView2.

Audio continues via the WASAPI loopback module — getDisplayMedia can't
grab system sound in WebView2 without desktop-capture entitlements
Chromium reserves for extensions. The audio track's teardown chains to
the ScreenShare video track's 'ended' event so the Windows stop-share
overlay kills both sides in lockstep.

ScreenSourcePicker is now a quality + audio chooser only; the
thumbnail grid disappears because custom source IDs don't round-trip
through WebView2, and a custom picker in front of the OS picker just
means the user picks twice.

@chat-app/desktop

Tauri v2 + React + Vite + Tailwind desktop client (macOS / Windows / Linux).

Prerequisites

  • Node 22+, pnpm 9+
  • Rust + Cargo (install via https://rustup.rs)
  • Platform build deps:
    • macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools
    • Linux: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev, build-essential, libssl-dev (Debian/Ubuntu)
    • Windows: Microsoft C++ Build Tools + WebView2

Dev

# from repo root
pnpm install
pnpm desktop:dev      # tauri dev — launches Vite + native window
pnpm desktop:build    # production bundle per platform

Layout

  • src/ — React app (Vite bundles into dist/).
  • src-tauri/ — Rust backend. main.rs wires Tauri plugins.
  • vite.config.ts — port 1420, HMR on 1421, aliases to shared packages.

Secure Storage

Session tokens + user private keys live in Stronghold (tauri-plugin-stronghold). Local message history lives in SQLite (tauri-plugin-sql), DB file encrypted at rest.
