Not a huge electron fan (thank god for tauri), but Obsidian is a fantastic app and you shouldn't let the electron put you off of it. You can even hook a MCP up to it and an agent can use it as a personal knowledge base, it's quite handy.

I’d love to try it, but speaking of security, this was the first thing I saw:

sh <(curl https://create.tauri.app/sh)

Right. But you know how to fetch and inspect (yea?) so, I with you that piping random crap to sh is bad. Maybe these snips encourage that behavior.

Tauri is trustable (for some loose definition) and the pipe to shell is just a well known happy-path.

All that to say it's a low value smell test.

Also, I'm in the camp that would rather git clone and then docker up. My understanding is it gives me a littl more sandbox.

I think I would prefer to see official supports for major package managers, even with unofficial repos (Debian, Macports,...). We went from a time where software were usually tarballed to one where devs are encouraging piping to shell.
