Not if you take one of the biggest selling points of Electron.
Im working on something not quite the same thing but that deal with all this, and being able to ship with a web rendering engine and not using whatever its on the system is actually better giving all the power, bindings, compromise you can make that you are unable when you can only deal with a abstract wrapper to every web rendering engine out there.
Lower memory footprint but with much less features and a generic "no sir, cant do such a thing.." as a answer to users that will need important features to ship applications with this.
- Jweb_Guru 5y agoOf course it's less convenient for developers not to ship a rendering engine. But should developers' need always come before users' needs, especially for applications that live and run on their own PCs?
- oscargrouch 5y agoIts not also about user needs, given the final application will have access to more functionality, also guaranteeing things will work. I agree that Electron is user hostile in the way it uses memory, but there's an answer in between the Electron and what Tauri is offering here. Tauri could have a embedded engine and yet propose a better architecture and better use of memory in consequence. The best of both worlds. In Chrome for instance, each tab is equivalent to a app, giving is a whole isolated process and yet it doesnt kill your machine even with many tabs open.
