+1 for Tauri, I've been using it for my recent vibe-coded experimental apps. Making rust the "center of gravity" for the app lets me use the best of all worlds:
- declarative-ish UI in typescript with react
- rust backend for performance-sensitive operations
- I can run a python sidecar, bundled with the app, that lets me use python libraries if I need it
If I can and it makes sense to, I'll pull functionality into rust progressively, but this give me a ton of flexibility and lets me use the best parts of each language/platform.
Its fast too and doesn't use a ton of memory like electron apps do.

It seems as if the big LLM models have trained on a lot of poorly written TypeScript because they tend to use type assertions such as `as any` and eslint disable comments. I had to add strict ESLint and TypeScript rules to keep guardrails on the coding agents.
