Like other replies have mentioned, it's not a new idea DeskGap uses the native OS Webviews. https://github.com/patr0nus/DeskGap/ https://github.com/patr0nus/DeskGap/ Electrino (4 years old) was an experiment where they forked Electron and removed Chromium to replace it with the native OS Web views. https://github.com/pojala/electrino https://github.com/pojala/electrino Quark is a fork of Electrino: https://github.com/jscherer92/Quark https://github.com/jscherer92/Quark There's also a way of building desktop GUIs using Deno, which uses Deno Webview, which is a binding for the same webview library that Tauri uses. https://denotutorials.net/making-desktop-gui-applications-using-deno-webview.html https://denotutorials.net/making-desktop-gui-applications-us... https://github.com/webview/webview https://github.com/webview/webview
