Show HN: QuiverKit – 62 developer tools that run offline

https://quiverkit.dev
4•ensardev•4h ago
I’m currently in the process of getting used to writing code with AI. In addition, I was curious about desktop app development. I came across Tauri and wanted to give it a try. That’s how this hobby project came about. It was important to me that the inputs not go to a server. I wanted to build a project focused on that.

For now, it includes 62 different tools. It has been released as native apps for Windows and Linux. The web version is already available. It’s also currently undergoing review as a browser extension.

From a Vibecoding experience perspective, I think projects like this are great for warming up. They’re also a great opportunity to experiment with different technologies we’re not familiar with.

Really cool project! Tauri is fantastic for keeping the memory footprint small compared to Electron. You mentioned 'Vibecoding' and building this to get used to AI coding tools. I'm curious: which parts of the Tauri/Rust boundary were the hardest for the AI to get right? In my experience, LLMs are great at the frontend JS/React, but sometimes hallucinate bad IPC (Inter-Process Communication) calls when talking to the Rust backend. Did you run into that issue?

I definitely agree with what you said about Tauri. Tauri’s performance surprised me.

As for what you said, to be honest, this project was just a starting point for me in terms of getting to know Tauri. So, in the context of this project, I’d say Tauri was more of a shell designed to deliver the application natively, rather than a tool where I fully utilized all its capabilities. In that regard, I didn’t encounter the kind of issue you mentioned. I mostly noticed that the AI initially struggled with window control and couldn’t grasp the situation. In short, when it came to ACL, I had to identify the problem and guide it. The AI had written reasonable window control code but had overlooked what to do regarding permissions.

Nice! Reminds me a little of https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef

From what I can tell, CyberChef is a more comprehensive and well-established project. Of course, there are many projects like this. I wanted to work on a project like this because I thought it would be a good fit for Vibecoding. It would also be a good opportunity to try out Tauri and other tools.
