Tauri builds lightweight desktop apps using the OS webview instead of bundling Chromium. Rust backend with any frontend framework. 10x smaller than Electron.
Reviewer scorecard
“Free tier with no restrictions is remarkable. Completion quality rivals Copilot for most languages.”
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“Hard to argue with free. The enterprise features and Windsurf IDE show they have a real business model beyond the free tier.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
