Sales Application

Sales Application

A modern sales management application designed to streamline tracking, reporting, and day-to-day sales operations.

Project Overview

The application pairs a Next.js web core with a Tauri desktop shell, delivering the same experience in the browser and as a native Linux and Windows application. Data persistence is handled through Drizzle ORM against PostgreSQL, with the schema and migrations defined in code for full type safety from the database up to the UI.

Technologies Used

• Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript
• Desktop Shell: Tauri (Rust)
• Database: PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM
• Tooling: Automated desktop builds via GitHub Actions

Key Features

1. Cross-Platform Delivery: A single web core packaged as a native desktop app with Tauri, keeping the bundle small and the startup fast.
2. Type-Safe Data Layer: Drizzle ORM with code-defined schemas, ensuring database queries are validated at compile time.
3. Automated Releases: Desktop installers (.deb for Linux, .msi for Windows) built entirely in CI, with no local Rust toolchain required.
4. Single Codebase: One Next.js codebase powers both the web and desktop experiences.

Project Details

The architecture separates the application logic from the platform: the Next.js application runs identically in the browser and inside the Tauri webview, while Rust handles the native shell responsibilities. This keeps development velocity high, features are built once and shipped everywhere.

Conclusion

The Sales Application demonstrates a pragmatic approach to desktop software: web-first development with native packaging, type-safe persistence, and release automation baked into the workflow.
