Luna Store (Electron Version)

Modern and Fast Package Management Application for Arch Linux

IMPORTANT NOTE: This project has been discontinued at this stage due to high memory (RAM) usage of Electron. The development process has been ported to the Rust language, and the project continues with the Tauri infrastructure at luna-manager (Development in progress). This repository represents the first and last stable state of the Electron process.
