Yes, Desktop builds are on the roadmap. We don't have a fixed release date for those yet. An experimental macOS build is already available in the mainline repo.

Shameless plug: We're developing the Boden Framework [0] which kind of shares that vision. I like the idea of a protocol and that is pretty much what Boden attempts to achieve in t…
