Tauri: desktop JS apps (vs Electron.js)

Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend | Tauri Apps


The 6 JavaScript Projects to watch in 2023

Tauri is a desktop app framework that utilizes webview to allow you to write desktop apps using web technologies without having to embed a browser. Additionally, Tauri’s backend is written in Rust rather than JS, which means you do not need to embed Node.js either.

Tauri can also be much easier to use. With Electron, if you want to interface with a native API, you need to implement handling logic in Node.js and call that from the web. On the other hand, Tauri offers a simple API you can call to perform a variety of native tasks like filesystem manipulation, showing notifications, and more.
