What is Tauri's advantages over Cordova? Cordova failed the competition against React Native and Flutter.

  Cordova assumes you'll write most of the app in JS. Tauri is more like a framework/GUI toolkit for Rust apps.

    I was looking at this list of apps that use Tauri and according to GitHub most of them are JS/TS-heavy code bases: https://github.com/tauri-apps/awesome-tauri#apps https://github.com/tauri-apps/awesome-tauri#apps

      If it's a "better electron" (which I think it is, amongst other things) then it will certainly be used for a lot of "web technology only" apps. There are just so many of them, the other end of the spectrum "rust app with some ui built on html" is extremely rare compared to that. My first contact with a tauri app is cinny desktop (matrix client) and it's an absolute joy to use. The project source is hardly more than a reference to the source of the web version and some configuration files that make a PWA manifest seem elaborate by comparison.

  Cordova has been superseded by Capacitor for several years now. And web tech on mobile is still wildly popular and isn’t going anywhere. Capacitor and Tauri Mobile are still the only platforms that can offer the value prop of bringing new and existing standard web apps to native mobile, which web developers still very much want to do just like they do on desktop with Electron/Tauri.
