For those who don’t know, Tauri is a lightweight electron alternative which doesn’t bundle browser nor a nodejs-like runtime.

To me piggybacking on the system webview is the main selling point. Tauri-made bundles usually clock in at a few MBs, compared to 100+ with electron.

For me the biggest selling point is being able to write application backend logic in Rust. That's a big win.

It's a great, easily-approachable framework too. I'd just recently picked it up for a pet project, and taking advantage today's powerful system webviews as UI frameworks seems like the obvious choice.

Also check out Wails if you'd like something along these lines with Go substituted for Rust
