Hi everyone!

I’m currently exploring and vibe coding the Restic Desktop (formerly Restic Browser) application — a cross-platform restic backup management suite built with Tauri v2, Lit, and MobX.

What I’m working on:

• Getting familiar with the codebase structure (Tauri v2 backend in Rust, Lit web components frontend)

• Understanding how the app manages multiple repository presets (Local, S3, SFTP, Rclone, REST)

• Exploring the Material Design UI with dashboard views, snapshot browsing, and backup operations

• Learning the MobX state management patterns used throughout the app

My vibe coding goals:

• Deep dive into how Tauri v2 bridges Rust backend with TypeScript frontend

• Understand the backup workflow implementation with progress tracking

• Explore the file browsing and ZIP export functionality

• Potentially contribute improvements or features back to the project

Tech stack I’m working with:

• Backend: Rust + Tauri v2

• Frontend: TypeScript + Lit + Vaadin components

• State: MobX

• Build: Vite + npm

I’m excited to learn more about backup management systems and contribute to making restic more accessible through a modern GUI. Looking forward to connecting with the restic community!
