For a lot of people the main advantage of electron was just being able to use the webdev stack for a desktop app. Tauri makes it less portable but is less bloated. Different tradeofs I guess.
Also: I think it’s kinda funny that Tauri is basically a very straightforward of example of trading developer comfort for benefit of the user, and you can’t imagine people using it.

- mathverse 1y agoI have never seen a Tauri app that was significantly less bloated than Electron. Can you share any?
- sabellito 1y agoThe bundle size is, by definition, much smaller as it doesn't include the browser engine.
