For anyone who hasn't seen it before, Tauri is basically Electron, but it doesn't ship a full chromium browser with each application.
Basically, I hope it replaces all Electron apps. :P
It also means that the rendering will potentially be different on each platform given they all use different native webviews (and there's no "native" webview on Linux but WebKit-gtk is the most widely used one)
Sounds good. Does it rely on an installed browser for rendering or...
Nevermind, I'm reading it myself. I'm just so lazy ...
Thanks! I'll be checking this out later
My hope is that something like Servo gets good enough to be included, especially if it's tree-shakable so you can only include a subset of the codebase. I don't know if that's a goal for either projects, but it would be cool - the default webviews can be quite lacking so currently you need to use a restricted set of HTML/CSS/JS to guarantee compatibility.
