Day 3: First cross-platform builds for our desktop design tool
Building Pastable UIs — a desktop app for designers to save and reuse components across Figma and Webflow.
Today we hit a milestone: the app now compiles and builds on Linux, macOS, and Windows. CI/CD pipeline is live with GitHub Actions, and first alpha binaries are ready for testers.
The stack: Tauri v2 + React + Rust. Cross-platform clipboard handling was the trickiest part — each OS has different APIs for reading custom MIME types from the clipboard.
Next up: sending download links to our first 4 waitlist signups and getting real feedback.
What's your experience with cross-platform desktop apps? Any gotchas I should watch for?
