I want to create a very simple remote desktop application

I want to create a very simple remote desktop application. I have looked at the source code of the TustDesk application, but it is too difficult for me, who is just getting started. My code is placed in the https://github.com/chenyuxingkong/rust-remote-desktop/blob/master/src/main.rs Please provide guidance.

Do you have experience developing desktop applications before? What's your background in software development?

I have used Electron as an application desktop, but Electron is not very compatible with Win7 and the packaging volume is too large, so I want to use Trust

I guess you're talking about GitHub - rustdesk/rustdesk: An open-source remote desktop, and alternative to TeamViewer.

It uses Flutter now, but chose between Flutter and Tauri last year.

The author still wanted to see a Tauri version driven by the community though: GitHub - rustdesk/rustdesk-server: RustDesk Server Program


If you really care about the binary size, Tauri is really good at it and it's similar to Electron, both of which are based on Web tech.
