tauri

Taking from Tauri [1], which tries to use native rendering engines too, it's WebKitGTK [2]. I thought that only OSX and mobile OS had an integrated rendering engine to call it native, though. [1] https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri#introduction [2] https://webkitgtk.org/

I've never used it, but I've heard good things about Tauri: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri

Thanks. I had not heard of Tauri. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri

Heck if it's a general purpose web app - ie not only Chrome, maybe give Tauri[1] a try? [1]: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri

I just opened this today, what a nice coincidence to see it here. I want to create a cross-platform app to show some information on a Git repository. I do not have many UI widgets, it is just a visualization in a way. I also want to continue learning Rust. So I want to create this in Rust, but I am not sure if that means my project will take many many months. I thought of desktop web-app too, using Tauri (1), if this effort is too much. 1. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri

Yes, much smaller install size and memory footprint. We have a comparison table on our readme: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri#comparison-between-tauri...

Came here to say this. It's a site designed for idiots not engineers. How does rendering work? Can't even tell if it's HTML based or some hipster immediate UI toolkit nobody's heard of. What do I need to give up to get a 640kb binary? etc etc. Answering my own question, https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry , so looks like it loses one of the advantages of Electron in that you control the exact browser in use. Maybe that's incorrect. Who knows? Web site appears to not exist to provide such important details. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/ARCHITECTURE.md could lose a few thousand words, but this seems to be the real starting off point

It's a webview wrapper. > ...the Tauri-team incubated and maintained WRY, which creates a unified interface to the system webview (and other goodies like Menu and Taskbar), leveraging WebKit on macOS, WebView2 on Windows and WebKitGTK on Linux. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri

We are going to put our demo app (that showcases the API) front and center on the landing page. Thanks for the input https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/tree/dev/examples/api

yeah, we just plain forgot to put that back on the landing page. mea culpa https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/tree/dev/examples/api

We actually had this at an earlier stage during the alpha, but got so caught up in the alpha that we just plain forgot to put the apps for mac, win and linux back up there. We'll try to get that done this weekend. We have a full "API Explorer" app that we built... https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/tree/dev/examples/api

Hey - I am nothingismagick aka Denjell, one of the founders of Tauri, and will do my best to answer your questions about the project, rust, wasm, etc. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri

I found Wails very simple to use, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight GUI library. However, Wails v1 uses mshtml (basically ie11) on Windows, so some features are unavailable. Wails uses Webpack so you need npm installed when developing your app. You might also be interested in Tauri [1] which is a similar framework but in Rust. [1] https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri

I'm following the Tauri Project https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri

I agree. And it's sort of perverse, isn't it? At least they’ll have extensions soon (or they do, already?) so it’ll become more usable. I would gladly use Safari on desktop, too. The graphics are excellent, which is one of the reasons I’m excited about https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri
