Outer Wilds Mod Manager

This was my first fully-fledged desktop app, it was made with Tauri which is a frontend-agnostic application development framework that uses Rust.

For the frontend portion, I went with React as the UI framework and Material UI for styling. Although I started out with Pico CSS, I found that the styles and overall customization of the framework were limited, so I switched to MUI.

It was based on the old mod manager and tried to improve functionality and Linux support.

Development took a little bit over 5 months, I made a core package so anyone can interface with mods, a CLI for easily managing mods without a full GUI, and a GUI for user-friendliness.

It was my first time distributing a complete app to multiple sources and testing compatibility across various platforms. Getting Steam Deck support via Flathub was especially challenging.
