so basically a vibe coded Tauri in zig? I don't like calling webview dependent applications "native desktop apps".
Native desktop apps means using the OS primitives and directives to draw the UI imo; WinForms, SwiftUI, and their ilk.
- thayne 5mo agoMaybe it's called zero native because that is how native it is.
- popcorncowboy 5mo ago"Not native" doesn't roll off the tongue quite so easily (dot com is available for a few grand). Concept is solid, an ingenious name even.
- rob74 5mo agoThat was my interpretation too (no idea if it's correct though)...
- kroaton 5mo agoIf Tauri ever gets proper webgpu support, that'll be the Electron killer.
- cyanydeez 5mo agonothings going to kill electron. The value of packaging the chrome browser is you don't need to suddenly track down 4+ different webview rendering bugs, capabilities, etc.
- delta_p_delta_x 5mo agoTiny nitpick: Windows Forms wraps the Windows API; the function call is `CreateWindowEx`[1].
