I guess this is in tune with the yc rfs - https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs#dynamic-software-interfaces - but i do have the same question for the app updates - you will break everything as soon as the update takes place - this opens up a nice rabbit hole for discussion.

#22I used to like Electron but most recently became a fan of Tauri. Electron is great from a UI perspective but seems like it tends to get bloated very quickly. Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

Tauri performance on Linux as abysmal. I'll take Electron any and everyday of the week withe all ita extra bloat instead of having Tauri apps ramp my Nvidia GPU to 100% in order to show me a basic screen.

Yes! Your modified version would stay the same, if I have an update which conflicts with your modified version you can simply select what to add to your modified version and then modify would take care of the rest.

It will not break the app. If I ship an update that conflicts with your modified version, you can select from a checklist what you want to add and then modify will take care of the rest.

#29I like it. I see this concept of allowing users to modify things to cater to their preferences being the future tbh.
Yes, I agree!
