Case study

Taskly: rebuilding Trello's Electron desktop shell

Taskly is an offline kanban app whose Electron desktop shell was reconstructed from Trello's app.asar using REA. The analysis covers window inventory, geometry, IPC channels and preloads; the board interface and local document storage are new implementation work. A separate report records the investigated package and recovered shell details.
