Tech Stack

Core foundations

• Tauri v2: cross-platform native application runtime
• Rust: backend and native capability implementation
• SillyTavern 1.16.0: frontend source and compatibility baseline

Frontend

• HTML / CSS / JavaScript
• jQuery
• Bootstrap
• Webpack

The frontend is not being redesigned as a new SPA. It is adapted into the host while preserving upstream behavior.

Backend

• tokio: async runtime
• reqwest: HTTP client
• serde: serialization and deserialization
• thiserror: error modeling
• async-trait: async trait support

Docs site

• VitePress
• Vue
• GitHub Pages
• GitHub Actions

That means the docs site itself should stay lightweight: Markdown first, restrained theme customization, and complexity spent on content rather than framework mechanics.
