Customize native window and utilization of native APIs

• Window title bar
• File I/O (save, save as, open, import, export)
• Automatically listing all local fonts
• Clipboard access
• More...?

Window title bar

I think this could be quite big ui/ux concern when we would lean too much on os implementation and use for example native menu bar

Clipboard access

Can't this be done via browser apis? Are there any limitations of the Clipboard API making this not possible?

This deals with future work plans on the desktop app. See this issue's parent tracking issue.

I'm not sure what's the concern with it here, I'm asking about more details on what are those plans referring to. Stuff like window title bar seems like something that could be part of ongoing contributions to desktop app implementation right now, so I was asking about what is it referring to since I was looking forward to contributing.

Gotcha, it sounded like your question was asking about its role within the web ecosystem, when in fact this deals with native APIs not web APIs. This issue is blocked since it comes after the current blocker on the desktop app, which is the platform-specific compositor challenges for combining the webview and native render. If you're interested in getting involved with native development for the desktop app initiative, please see #2541 and #2648 and take a look over in the #desktop-app channel of our Discord where the recent discussion has taken place which can fill in those details. Thanks!
