The idea here is to make a standalone application to access ISL, rather than using `sl web` to open ISL in a browser. This makes ISL feel more native and lets it use OS windowing features.
Since ISL is a web application, we need a browser-like technology like electron. Electron is quite bloated, so Tauri is a good alternative for our use case.
We only need to run `sl web` and embed that into a webview with Tauri. We don't need to produce entirely new javascript bundles for Tauri. This means the Tauri application shell can be updated independently of the actual ISL client/server code.
I don't intend to pursue this much futher right now, since the next steps involve figuring out distribution mechanisms and build pipelines. But I figured it was worth publishing and even landing this so it's easily accessible in the near future.
