An Electron "Hello World" is 150MB. A Tauri "Hello World" is 3MB. Same web tech frontend. 50x smaller. What Is Tauri? Tauri builds desktop applications using any web frontend (React, Vue, Svelte, vanilla) with a Rust backend. Instead of bundling Chromium (Electron), it uses the OS's native webview.
