Maybe I'm an old fart, but "rendering engine" used to mean 3D graphics. This is actually a cross-platform UI toolkit? Or rather a web toolkit than can be deployed to desktop via Tauri?
- tuvix 5mo agoYou’re not alone I was assuming it was 3D graphics as well. Disappointed to see, according to other comments, it’s a wrapper around python bindings to Tauri
- yunruse 5mo agoI thought so too at first. It is definitely something interfaced on top of Tauri[0] with some sort of 'server-side logic' framework[1]. But looking at Tauri's site, it is really hard to disentangle if PyWry is a binder about WRY[2] or not. "OS-efficient cross-platform HTML-based UI toolkit" is a great technological thing, but neither PyWry and Tauri's sites make that clear, or meaningfully advertise what they do. Which is a shame, because there is myriad software which might benefit all to use this. [0] Tauri is akin to Chromium, I think? https://tauri.app https://tauri.app [1] and also a rather large amount of LLM integration; the source for PyWry has a whole section for Claude bindings [2] the Webview Rendering librarY (WRY) used in Tauri https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry
- swiftcoder 5mo ago> Tauri is akin to Chromium, I think? Yeah, Tauri is for shipping web apps as desktop apps - basically an Electron replacement. Its main selling point is that it uses the system web view on Mac/Windows, so it doesn't have to bundle most of Chromium with every app.
