## What it is
Astrodon is a desktop application framework for Deno built on top of Tauri, letting developers create webview-based desktop apps with TypeScript out of the box. It supports compiling apps to executables and installers, but is currently unmaintained.

## Use cases
- build desktop apps with deno
- create webview desktop applications in typescript
- compile deno apps to native executables
- make installers for desktop apps
- desktop gui framework for deno developers

## When to choose
- you want to build desktop apps using Deno and TypeScript
- you want a Tauri-based workflow with Deno as the backend runtime
- you need to compile webview apps into executables on Windows or Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained framework with active support
- you need macOS or Apple Silicon support
- you need production-ready desktop development today - use Tauri directly
- you need web workers or a plugin system, which were never implemented
