Electrobun Release & Distribution

Electrobun is NOT Electron. It uses Bun as its JS runtime, CEF or native WebView for rendering, and Zig for native components.

Mental Model

Build pipeline:    TypeScript → Bun.build() bundle → native wrapper → platform package
Distribution:      self-extracting archives (.app/.exe/binary), bsdiff delta patches, zstd compression
Update flow:       checkForUpdate() → downloadUpdate() → applyUpdate() → quit & relaunch
Channels:          stable, canary, dev (dev disables updates)
Artifact hosting:  Static file server (S3, R2, CDN) — no dynamic backend required
