[GNC] Cashdera analytics companion for GnuCash

[cashdera]

Hello David,  thanks for the interest!

Linux is definitely coming. Cashdera is built with Tauri v2, which 
supports cross-platform builds, so it is more a matter of prioritization 
than technical impossibility.
For the MVP, I started with Windows because that is my own environment 
,and I wanted to validate the product before maintaining three platform 
builds. But I've already heard the Linux question from several people, 
so it moves up the priority list.

My current plan:

1. Stabilize Windows beta based on real book feedback (next 2-4 weeks).
2. Linux build (2-3 weeks after that).
3. macOS if enough demand.

I'll announce it here and on r/GnuCash when the Linux beta is ready.

In the meantime, if you have a Windows machine for testing or can share 
feedback on the architecture/import process, that would be very helpful 
for the foundation both platforms will use.

Thanks,

Ars
