Play around with Tauri the last few months and I've come to the realization that I don't want to build my business on it. We have seen these before (Electron, Expo, Ionic) and they all suffer from the same pitfalls. Now if I have a web application and I'm trying to target mobile and I want to give my business time to develop a native application than I'm using Tauri over the rest of the crowd. A targeted business strategy can make this work, but you are doing so because you need speed not durability or longevity.
- moffkalast 3y agoAs someone considering exploring this direction, what pitfalls specifically? There is a performance hit, sure, and considerable memory usage, but that's the trade off for having essentially a virtual machine to work on. And with VS Code being Electron based it's at least conceivably possible to make this approach very performant. On desktop anyway.

- oooyay 3y agoI'm curious what pitfalls you're referring to. Frameworks like Tauri and Wails are a far departure from Electron in that they don't bundle a browser.
