dsh-desktop

The dsh Web UI was designed for a browser tab, which means every session starts with opening a tab and typing a URL. That small friction adds up over weeks of daily use. dsh-desktop closes the gap by wrapping the Web UI in a frameless Electron window with a dsh-styled custom title bar that follows the active theme, so the interface feels like a native desktop application rather than yet another tab.

On the desktop-interaction side it adds a tight feature set: a system tray menu for showing the main window, opening in a browser, or quitting entirely; closing the window minimizes to the tray instead of shutting down. URL resolution follows a clear priority chain (command-line flag, then an already-running Web Server port, then auto-starting dsh web), so even if you have never manually launched a browser service, the plugin boots the Web UI as a child process and then launches Electron on top of it, with no manual parameter stitching required.

It is well suited for developers who rely on dsh every day and want to cut down on switching between browser tabs and the terminal. As a fully out-of-tree plugin, dsh-desktop injects nothing into the dsh source tree and does not add Electron to the dependency graph; removing it cleanly reverts you to the pure Web workflow with zero residue.
