Tauri is a toolkit built in Rust to help developers build desktop apps using any web frontend framework. It is currently in Beta. I rebuilt an Electron app in Tauri to check the app’s size/memory differences.
| Metric | Electron | Tauri |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 177MB | 7MB |
| Memory | 116MB | 44MB |
Pretty promising!
