We don’t necessarily use Tauri… Tauri has a library called wry that’s basically a more maintained fork of the Rust web-view library. https://github.com/Boscop/web-view We are great friends with Tauri but I think people misunderstand our architecture and philosophy just because we use one of their maintained libraries. We’ve been working on a native HTML/CSS library for a while called blitz which is reaching stability soon. https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz
