ToolBoxV2 🧰

A flexible modular framework for tools, functions, and complete applications – deployable locally, on the web, or as a desktop/mobile app.

Overview

ToolBoxV2 combines a Python backend library with a Rust web/desktop server (Actix) and a cross-platform UI framework (Tauri + tbjs). This architecture enables the creation of versatile applications accessible through various interfaces.

Goal 🎯

The primary goal of ToolBoxV2 is to provide a flexible platform that enables developers, end-users, and small to medium-sized businesses to efficiently create, customize, and use applications. It aims to:

  • Execute applications seamlessly.
  • Integrate diverse functionalities.
  • Ensure system-independence.

The underlying system, built on a monolithic modular architecture, combines the advantages of both approaches, enabling intuitive interaction with the digital world. It connects various components and provides utility functions accessible from anywhere. This platform promotes creative collaboration and eases access to digital resources.
