Overview
VortexQ8 is a production Electron + React desktop tool distributed via signed Windows installer, with device-bound license validation through Cloudflare Workers and large pack delivery via R2 signed multipart uploads.
The problem
Windows desktop app + edge platform for graphics pack installation, GPU tuning, signed NSIS installer, Cloudflare licensing.
My approach
Boring, layered, modular architecture: keep the UI thin, logic pure, storage typed, and the whole thing observable.

Implementation
VortexQ8 is a production Electron + React desktop tool distributed via signed Windows installer, with device-bound license validation through Cloudflare Workers and large pack delivery via R2 signed multipart uploads.
Results
Signed Windows installer + edge device licensing
What I learned
Write boring code, measure everything, keep the UI thin, and never be afraid to delete features that nobody uses.
