Update

After disappearing for more than three months, I refactored the Dawn Launcher code. Because I had no experience in developing NodeJS and Electron at the beginning, Vue was not well written, and the code was a bit sloppy, so I carried out Code refactoring, the new version uses Electron26 + Vite + Vue3 + TS, the UI framework uses Naive, regarding the native API, I switched from C++ to Rust, and the database switched from electron-store With SQLite3, the language has also added English.

Dawn Launcher

The Windows quick launch tool helps you organize your messy desktop, manage your desktop shortcuts by category, and keep your desktop clean and tidy.

Supports associated folders (real-time synchronization of folder contents), quick search, relative paths (portable paths), scanning the local start menu, locally scanning the local Appx application list, adding URLs and obtaining URL information with one click.

Technology Stack

Electron + Vite + Vue3 + TS

Support Platform

Windows(10/11)

Compilation Steps

Install node-gyp, required to compile SQLite3.
Install the Rust environment + Cargo, which is needed to compile Rust.
Then run yarn install to install the project dependencies (if you modify the Rust code, you need to re-run yarn install).
yarn run dev runs the project locally.
yarn run build packages the project.
The portable version and the installation version need to be packaged twice. By modifying VITE_INSTALL in .env.production, true means the installation version and false means the portable version.
