> #6 - Security "Tauri is very secure by default, on the other hand I can't say the same about Electron... With Electron you have full access to Node APIs, so a hacker could easily exploit the very powerful Node APIs." It's fair to believe this, given there's so much material out on the web affirming the fact. I've written about this at length in other places; applications with Electron pre version 5 [0] (released April 2019) were not secure. It's entirely possible and easy to build a secure Electron app today. I started building a secure app Electron template in 2020 [1] (that I still maintain) to address this security issue. I've also written about a history of the framework [2] and steps to build your own Electron app with today's best practices [3].

A lots of fun things, feel free to connect with me on Github if anyone would like to chip in and help: - An Electron template with built-in secure features. I regularly maintain and update the template so it's supported with newer versions of packages. - A collection of free, public-domain recipes. I've wanted to do some version of this for _years_, but am finally getting around to do it again. This time, I'm paying chefs to create recipes for me that will be licensed as public domain.

That's a common refrain I hear that Electron apps aren't secure. It was more true in the past and less-so now. I've been maintaining a secure Electron template for 2 years that's got traction in the community, if you are interested - https://github.com/reZach/secure-electron-template.
