I seem to be the only one with some degree of success with Tauri :) After someone suggested here in HN I switched Microlandia[1] from deno-webview[2] to Tauri. So far, it’s been a pretty good experience in Windows and macOS, of all the bug reports I received, zero are related to Tauri. Only one caveat: For Steam Linux, I had to package the game in electron after spending an entire weekend in library hell trying to get it to work in the Steamworks sniper SDK. 1. https://explodi.itch.io/microlandia 2. https://github.com/webview/webview_deno
In Electron vs. Tauri
mattlondon·Mar 3, 2021Recommendation phrase
There are Deno bindings for webview. https://github.com/webview/webview_deno I have had a quick play around with it - seems functional. Usual caveats about cross-platform webview apply, but I don't see those as major blockers these days unless you are doing something particularly fancy/niche I love that you can just run the examples by copy-pasting a command and everything is auto-downloaded via Demo's modules. No installation or huge separate binary downloads. Awesome stuff.
In Deno v1.8 – support for WebGPU, private modules, Intl, and much more
