I’ve always liked #GUI, both #desktop-based and browser-based before you needed five years of training on the latter. That’s the reason I loved, and still love #Vaadin: you can develop web UIs without writing a single line of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. I’m still interested in the subject.

I also like the #Rust programming language a lot.

@TauriApps is a Rust-based framework for building desktop applications. Here’s my view.

@frankel
Nice blog! I have yet to really build a tauri app but this gives good insights up front to go into one 😁

One thing: you mentioned the front end is a chrome wrapper, but it actually uses the system's webview libraries. Mentioned in https://blog.logrocket.com/tauri-electron-comparison-migration-guide/

That is in large part what allows tauri apps to ship such small and performant frontend logic IIUC.

@nuke Interesting insight!

I thought about Chrome because that's the same Developer Tools view as in Chrome.
