I am by background a C++ developer, not a web developer, but Tauri has intrigued me as a cross-platform app framework.

The things that have been frustrating are the documentation, the variety of options (pick a front end framework, pick a build tool), and the sense of being on your own once you get Hello, World! working. I wish there were more examples with using 1+ different Rust web service frameworks, how to manage state, and so on. It has the feel of an older-style open source project where the developers are in love with offering options rather than committing to a strong developer experience.

It's possible I don't know what I'm talking about, but I believe Dioxus is also targetting cross-platform app development and might be a reasonable fit for you. Here the frontend is written in Rust in their provided UI framework (designed with concepts from the web DOM and learnings from existing web frameworks) and it might be a more familiar approach to a C++ dev who has used Qt or whatever before.

I understand it also has experimental support (possibly still under development?) for a servo/verso render engine, which is why I mention it.
