-//! Dioxus Desktop Renderer
-//!
-//! Render the Dioxus VirtualDom using the platform's native WebView implementation.
-//!
-//! # Desktop
-//!
-//! One of Dioxus' killer features is the ability to quickly build a native desktop app that looks and feels the same across platforms. Apps built with Dioxus are typically <5mb in size and use existing system resources, so they won't hog extreme amounts of RAM or memory.
-//!
-//! Dioxus Desktop is built off Tauri. Right now there aren't any Dioxus abstractions over keyboard shortcuts, menubar, handling, etc, so you'll want to leverage Tauri - mostly [Wry](http://github.com/tauri-apps/wry/) and [Tao](http://github.com/tauri-apps/tao)) directly. The next major release of Dioxus-Desktop will include components and hooks for notifications, global shortcuts, menubar, etc.
-//!
-//!
-//! ## Getting Set up
-//!
-//! Getting Set up with Dioxus-Desktop is quite easy. Make sure you have Rust and Cargo installed, and then create a new project:
-//!
-//! ```shell
-//! $ cargo new --bin demo
-//! $ cd app
-//! ```
-//!
-//! Add Dioxus with the `desktop` feature:
-//!
-//! ```shell
-//! $ cargo add dioxus --features desktop
-//! ```
-//!
-//! Edit your `main.rs`:
-//!
-//! ```rust
-//! // main.rs
-//! use dioxus::prelude::*;
-//!
-//! fn main() {
-//!     dioxus::desktop::launch(app);
-//! }
-//!
-//! fn app(cx: Scope) -> Element {
-//!     cx.render(rsx!{
-//!         div {
-//!             "hello world!"
-//!         }
-//!     })
-//! }
-//! ```
-//!
-//!
-//! To configure the webview, menubar, and other important desktop-specific features, checkout out some of the launch configuration in the [API reference](https://docs.rs/dioxus-desktop/).
-//!
-//! ## Future Steps
-//!
-//! Make sure to read the [Dioxus Guide](https://dioxuslabs.com/guide) if you already haven't!
