Tauri's a web development framework akin to Electron, written in Rust. The advantage over Electron lies in the direct linking to WebKit / whichever OS web engine is present. No need to bundle Chromium with a build of Electron. I converted all of the Electron code to Tauri, just to see if it'd save load times.
@debanjum , core stats: desktop app that loads immediately, with cross-platform bindings, and no Chrome bundle with the desktop app. Super quick. Way less memory used compared to Electron.
I simulated the delay you'd see in the main app, to see the icon load for testing parity. Just delete the 800 millisecond delay line to see an immediate load. (Search for 800, you'll see it).
Probably...90% parity. And the code quality's...okay. But it can be tightened up.
