# bhari-frame (heavy-frame)

|
Desktop app for [ente.io](https://ente.io) build with [electron](https://electronjs.org) and loads of ❤️.
|
|
|
|
## Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
We are aware that electron is a sub-optimal choice for building desktop applications.
|
|
|
|
The goal of this app was to
|
|
1. provide a stable environment for customers to back up large amounts of data reliably
|
|
2. export uploaded data from our servers to their local hard drives.
|
|
|
|
Electron was the best way to reuse our battle tested code from [bada-frame](https://github.com/ente-io/bada-frame) that powers [web.ente.io](https://web.ente.io).
|
|
|
|
As an archival solution built by a small team, we are hopeful that this project will help us keep our stack lean, while ensuring a painfree life for our customers.
|
|
|
|
If you are running into issues with this app, please drop a mail to [support@ente.io](mailto:support@ente.io) and we'll be very happy to help.
