elixir-desktop/desktop

This system is an Elixir library that provides a cross-platform abstraction for building desktop and mobile applications. It enables a single codebase to run natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux via wxWidgets, while also supporting headless environments and mobile targets through JSON or browser-based backends. The library manages windowing, menus, and system events by routing calls to the appropriate backend, ensuring consistent behavior across diverse runtime environments.

The project introduced a platform abstraction layer to support multiple backends (Wx, Json, Browser), enabling mobile and headless environments. This involved refactoring the desktop module to use pluggable backends, updating dependencies for modern Phoenix/LiveView versions, and adding comprehensive tests for the new architecture.
