I've been looking at Tauri about a year ago but decided that it was a little too early to use in production. I did like playing around with it though and I think it might be time to reevaluate that assessment.

did you ? If this really work out then many electron apps would benefit from it greatly.

Fantastic video mate. As Tauri Contributor, I do appreciate that you took the time to create such a concise explanation of the library/framework. Also, pretty confident that this video took you a long time to make given its runtime; keep up the good work.

As a non programmer peasant, 0:41 I can't wait this thing to be widespread. Running Ms. Teams, Spotify, Discord using "native" electron eats my resources like it's running 3 different whole browsers.

That sounds really cool! Too bad I have no experience in Rust but that toolkit made me really want to. I already learned and build a very cool (IMHO) Electron app inspired by your Electron video, so now I'm thinking about migrating it to Tauri. Oh, maybe a video about migrating from Electron to Tauri would be possible? Cheers from Ukraine tho, your videos are the best!

[@davidnguyen9065]

Maybe you should consider flutter to build desktop apps

[@paxanddos]

@@davidnguyen9065 Honestly speaking, before you said that I thought Flutter is only for building mobile apps. Just googled and realized it is also targeted for desktop and web, thanks for the suggestion! But still Flutter for me is for mobile apps, also wanted to try it but yet had no idea and, especially, time

[@MortvmMM]

why would you migrate an app from different technologies? just build another app that does the same thing

@@paxanddos Flutter recently got support for Windows native, but MacOS and Linux is on the way

[@klassykat2681]

The video didn't really say it, but it's actually very easy to write a tauri app without ever touching rust code. Like the only time you write rust in tauri is pretty much when you want to.

NGL, but u know just some months ago, i've read an article which says that JetBrains toolbox developers have moved their codebase from C++ and electron to 100% kotlin and compose multi-platform, and they ended up making their code easier to maintain and work with while shipping smaller artifacts with better runtime performance. Kotlin is already making developers happier and no offense but compose multi-platform(which is used to make ui for desktop and web) is making me more excited than tauri.

[@GaryTheGarrr]

Jetbrains would naturally endorse KMM and Compose. It's their product.

[@mohanaggarwal4058]

@@GaryTheGarrr exactly, but who will like to even try to change a whole lot of code of production to some other language, JetBrains uses Kotlin but not 100% in every project or app they make, and they r making it more interesting by telling about it.
