Trying Tauri For The 3rd Time

good

Oh, happy to see Tauri now supports Android and iOS. Last time I checked the development was in progress and now it is even on beta. Have only used it for building a Windows app but that's nice to know!

[@earlymorningdev]

I am hoping it becomes a worthy competitor to React Native. Seems really promising

i read the blog for v2 and it mentioned the ability to use kotlin/swift does that mean instead of rust kotlin and swift can be used to fully replace rust? (except for native api's)

[@earlymorningdev]

No I think it means that you can use those in conjunction with rust if you like. There is a strong chance you will need to go and do that anyways at some point. My hope is that enough support is given for the project to where you never have to break away from rust just like expo

@@earlymorningdev my hope too ill be honest and say rust is a big turn off for me personally im sure there are others who aren't familiar with or outright scared other option is wails with go lang but its not as mature

[@earlymorningdev]

@@ayoubkrt5018 I want to see it happen. Out of curiousity why not rust?

[@patsy02]

Looks interesting. Do you know what the performance of Tauri is when compared to Capacitor or Native Android w/Kotlin? If it's anything like Tauri vs Electron then it's an obvious choice.

I am not 100% sure but I believe it is fast because the code is being executed through a bridge like RN (think old arch). The webviews will run your UI at the speed of any normal Web app which won't be as good as native but I believe it will be unnoticeable

Does it work with astro?

[@earlymorningdev]

You can do it. There are templates out there. Any web framework basically
