Is Tauri the Electron Killer?
Daniel Thompson discusses Tauri, a framework for building small, fast and secure desktop and mobile apps using Rust and webviews instead of Electron. Key topics include improvements in version 2 like mobile support, the plugin system, and custom web views, the release cycle and future roadmap, and designing in the age of AI.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Daniel Thompson-Yvetot about Tauri. They dive into what Tauri is, the motivations behind its development, its open-source ecosystem, use cases, and more.
