Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
