Tauri Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• How do I reduce the size of my apps?

  Tauri, on the other hand, uses native WebView, so it's way smaller. You should check it out. Depending on what you want to build, you may not need to know Rust, as the Tauri API is pretty extensive. Source: over 1 year ago

• What do people use rust for?

  Producing bindings to existing cross-platform GUI toolkits like Qt is hard work for a young language (I use PyO3 and PyQt or PySide to set up a "frontend in Python, backend in Rust" configuration when I need QWidget GUIs, similar to how you have to use Qt's QML ECMAScript dialect for the frontend if you want to write a Qt Quick GUI, regardless of the host language. You can use gtk-rs for GTK, but the GTK devs seem... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Rust, SolidJS, and Tauri: Create a cross-platform desktop app

  Tauri is a new framework that offers what people like most about Electron but fixes many of the security and performance concerns. Tauri offers the ability to design your UI using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript but allows you to use lower-level languages to write the application and backend logic. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• A Letter to D1sc0rd for not Supporting the Linux Desktop

  I would be happier to see more projects using Tauri instead of Electron. It's a lot easier to use web technologies to quickly iterate UI design, and makes it a better experience for those of us that are a bit challenged when it comes to creating a GUI. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How I created the Focus app using React and Rust

  What I am trying to build here is a desktop application, but I want to use web technologies (at least for the UI). The popular tool to the that is Electron, but I started recently learning Rust and Tauri seems like a good tool to try. So I will using it with React for the frontend and Tailwind for styling. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• An Introduction To Developer Experience

  If you absolutely must use web stuff to make a desktop app - maybe because you are an individual or a tiny team of people, or you have an existing web app that you just want packaged for desktop for some reason - try to use something like Tauri instead, it uses WebView instead of CEF and Rust for the backend instead of Node.js, so you're putting way, way less bloat on the user's computer.

• Hey! Learning my first programming language and wanted some information.

  Outside that, you'll probably be using either Tauri (Electron-style web tech UI) or QMetaObject (Qt Quick 2, which is a hassle to make not feel like a mobile app) or writing a frontend in something like Python + PySide/Qt for Python and then using something like PyO3 to expose your Rust code to the other language.

• Has anyone used Tauri for cross-platform Desktop apps?

  Recently I was searching for an option to build cross-platform desktop apps. I came across Tauri (https://tauri.studio/) but looks like there are not many apps built with it and tutorials are so limited. I just want to ask if anyone has used it and what are your impressions on it. Source: almost 2 years ago

• No Electron Alternatives

  There's Tauri [1], which seems to be a very good Electron alternative written in Rust. [1]: https://tauri.studio/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• so true

  Tauri Apps for example depend on Edge to run, although they will install Edges framework automatically when it is not installed on the device. There are other examples, like Outlook uses IE renderers to render emails and addins, which I assume will be moved to Edge's renderers. Every modern OS needs some core browser framework installed for many apps installed, although you might not see a difference when... Source: almost 2 years ago

• What language / framework are modern GUI desktop apps written in?

  Tauri is a lightweight alternative to Electron written in Rust. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Learning rust has been pretty fun

  If you are a full stack developer, you may be interested in tauri. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Creating JavaScript GUI and GO backend for multiplatform desktop app

  I evaluated wails but it's light on features. The best non-electron solution is probably tauri.studio. It's very popular and close to feature parity with electron. You can sidecar a Go app so you don't need to know rust. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Back with Bear

  If Obsidian wasn't written in Electron I would use it 100X over any other notetaking app. I really hope something like Tauri takes off as an Electron replacement. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Fabric Installer does not have the option to "Open with". How do I fix this? I need to open this with Java.

  An alternative that fixes most of the issues is tauri (https://tauri.studio/), but it isn't mature yet. Source: almost 2 years ago

  Did you checked https://tauri.studio/? It might be what you are looking for. Source: about 2 years ago

  I'm curious why you wouldn't want to use it on the web? And would you be interested in us shipping this with something like Tauri (https://tauri.studio)? - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Why Remotion is a native macOS app (not Electron)

  Check out https://tauri.studio. It’s a WIP, but it’s already a significant chunk of the way to being an electron alternative. Many devs could probably already use it. Of course, it requires them to support more browser engines, but usually that’s trivial, unless you’re doing something fancy. Also, there’s the issue that the native browser engine isn’t something more modern like WebKit, Gecko, or Chromium, but... Source: about 2 years ago

• PWA on client that will launch Powershell commands on server side

  If what you're looking for is a way to make an actual application rather than a PWA, I'd recommend using Tauri over Electron. If you intend to make a PWA, then just setup a website with a Service Worker as well as a WebApp Manifest. MDN has a good little introduction on PWAs which you can find Here. Source: about 2 years ago
