Working on a desktop app for Lemmy using Tauri, a rust based framework
Since I wanted to learn both Rust and ReactJS I decided to pick this, this is the progress in two days.
You're viewing a single thread.
First time hearing of tauri, so thanks for sharing!
Couple Q's about Tauri:
-
How large does the binary compile to?
-
How snappy is it/how does it feel, compared to an electron app?
Github link to tauri for those interested: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri
It's going to be a lot smaller since it doesn't bundle a version of chromium in every build. Instead it uses the systems native web view. This does pose the problem of vendor specific rendering issues.. How snappy it feels is down to how the front-end programmed. It can still be a mess of bloated JavaScript 🙂
Thanks! Gonna play around with it tonight/tomorrow!
