PR [#215](https://github.com/NeuralNomadsAI/CodeNomad/pull/215) "perf(ui): lazy-load markdown and defer diff rendering" by [@pascalandr](https://github.com/pascalandr) ## Highlights - **Voice-first conversations**: Start prompts with voice input, configure speech behavior from settings, and listen back to assistant responses with message playback and conversation playback controls. - **A complete Hebrew + RTL experience**: CodeNomad now ships with a full Hebrew locale and much broader right-to-left support, making the app feel natural for Hebrew users while improving Arabic text rendering too. - **A much faster experience in long chats**: The new virtualized message list, deferred markdown and diff rendering, and more selective loading for heavy UI surfaces make large sessions feel noticeably smoother. ## What's Improved - **More flexible speech controls**: Speech settings and playback modes now adapt better to different browsers and platform capabilities. - **Cleaner prompt workflow**: The prompt includes a quick clear action, a simpler recording indicator, and a more polished mic control layout. - **Faster startup and lighter heavy views**: Locale bundles, overlays, right-panel viewers, picker flows, markdown, and diff surfaces all load more lazily to reduce upfront UI work. - **Less notification spam**: Subagent sessions no longer fire OS notifications, so important interruptions are easier to notice. - **Better RTL behavior across the whole interface**: Session names, tool outputs, markdown blocks, file views, selectors, and layout controls behave more consistently in right-to-left contexts. ## Fixes - **More reliable Windows desktop behavior**: Process cleanup is stronger during app shutdown, background CLI process trees are terminated more reliably, desktop identity/metadata is aligned more cleanly, and stray console windows are hidden during startup and exit. - **Cleaner shutdown on macOS and Linux**: Desktop quit/close now stops the spawned CLI process group more reliably, reducing leftover background processes after exit. - **Restored desktop actions**: External links in the folder picker work again, and the desktop View/Window controls plus the fullscreen shortcut are back. - **More stable streaming and scrolling**: Reasoning streams stay pinned more consistently, follow behavior is less jumpy, spacing is cleaner in virtualized conversations, and session switching retains position more smoothly. - **Safer slash command pasting**: Pasted placeholders are resolved correctly before slash commands run, so long pasted inputs behave like normal prompts. - **More dependable desktop packaging**: Tauri prebuild now refreshes the server UI bundle correctly, which avoids packaged desktop builds picking up stale UI assets. - **Clearer speech compatibility handling**: Streaming playback limitations are surfaced more cleanly instead of failing in a confusing way. ### Contributors - [@pascalandr](https://github.com/pascalandr) -

CodeNomad App
This package contains the native desktop application shell for CodeNomad, built with Electron.
Overview
The Electron app wraps the CodeNomad UI and Server into a standalone executable. It provides deeper system integration, such as:
- Native window management
- Global keyboard shortcuts
- Application menu integration
Development
To run the Electron app in development mode:
npm run dev
This will start the renderer (UI) and the main process with hot reloading.
Building
To build the application for your current platform:
npm run build
To build for specific platforms (requires appropriate build tools):
- macOS:
npm run build:mac - Windows:
npm run build:win - Linux:
npm run build:linux
Structure
electron/main: Main process code (window creation, IPC).electron/preload: Preload scripts for secure bridge between main and renderer.electron/resources: Static assets like icons.
