Desktop kit · Electron + Rust · Windows · macOS · Linux
Thirty editors, creators, and generators for World of Warcraft client modding — DBC parsing, live MySQL writes, 3D model and map previews, an in-app shop, and a realtime changelog. Built first for 3.3.5a (WotLK), with support for more client versions on the roadmap.
Chapter II · Six exhibits
Six snapshots out of thirty. Click a release in the Changelog and the next launch pulls it automatically.
The Hub
Achievements, Talents, Titles, Spells, Quests, Factions, Creatures, Currencies — plus the Skill Line Manager, Custom Class Creator, and an M2 Viewer. Each tool is a sandboxed feature module; the landing is the table of contents.
Realm discovery
realmlist.wtf so you don’t.Discover, filter, and connect to private WoW realms. Pin favourites, see latency, and swap realmlists on connect. Server operators can submit their own listing with a tagline, a flag, and a Discord invite.
Content marketplace
Content packs, templates, and tool add-ons — versioned, licensed, and delivered over the wire. Payments run through Stripe; the app handles install, verification, and update notifications.
Community
Submissions from the community sit beside the featured catalogue. Preview before install, rate after, and creators get paid via Stripe Connect when someone buys theirs.
The Codex
Every editor documented in-app, cross-linked to emulator references. No tab-switching to a wiki — the docs live next to the fields they describe, and search is offline-first.
Release notes
Searchable timeline of what shipped, broke, and got fixed — with realtime updates over Supabase. When a new build lands, the client knows; when you pin a tool to a version, it stays pinned.
Chapter III · Under the hood
Renderer
Vite · React 19 · TypeScript
Hash-routed SPA inside Electron. Feature-scoped modules, not a framework.
Native
Rust · NAPI-RS · wgpu
DBC parsing and M2 rendering live in Rust for the parts that can’t be slow.
Data
DBC · MySQL · Supabase
Client DBCs read-local. World MySQL writes for the six tools that need them. Supabase for auth & realtime.
Cores
TrinityCore · AzerothCore
DBC work is core-agnostic; MySQL writers detect the schema and adjust.
3D
Babylon.js · Three.js
M2 viewer + map editor run in the renderer. Heavy ops offloaded to web workers.
Commerce
Stripe · Stripe Connect
One-time, subscription, and creator payouts — all wired into the in-app Shop.
