Well done 🎉. Looks very promising, I'll give it a try later at home. But I still think the IPC is the way to go, writing a fake api and running a node server seems way more complicated than properly setting up IPC. In a project at work, using IPC with react hooks make things very smooth. If the problem is implementing it in your project, maybe have a look at other boiler plates to get an idea how they do. 😉

Yeah I think too, as IPC is specifically is built for doing this specific task, and it would be obvious that it would be way better than the express api. I don't know why but it came to be hard for me, Maybe it can be my fault so I will try again, by looking at other boiler plates, as you said 😉. Let me know if you have any suggestion about it or if you can guide me setting up IPC with react hooks.

Stay Healthy,
Have a nice day
