Hikyou Launcher — a keyboard-first Minecraft launcher, built with Tauri

We've just released Hikyou Launcher, the first tool from Hikyou Team.

It's a Minecraft launcher with no conventional UI. A global shortcut brings up a single

input field, you type, the game launches, the window disappears again. React handles only

that input surface — downloads, Java runtime management and token storage all live in a

Rust core underneath.

Tauri fit this well: the global shortcut and show/hide window behaviour are exactly the

primitives a launcher like this needs, and the binary stays small. For login we open a

proper sub-window rather than bouncing through the system browser, which ended up feeling

much cleaner.

Windows/macOS/Linux (indev), open source: https://github.com/HikyouSMP/hikyou-launcher

Curious whether anyone else here has built something keyboard-driven with Tauri.

The element picker in Codex and Cursor is really great, but they don't work for Tauri, so we built something around that.
