Reviewer scorecard
“At $500/mo it needs to replace at least 10 hours of developer time per month. In my testing, I spent more time reviewing and fixing its output than I saved. Not there yet.”
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“The marketing writes checks the product can't cash. 'Autonomous software engineer' implies reliability that doesn't exist. It's a talented intern that needs constant supervision.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“Devin is early but directionally correct. The autonomous agent approach will win eventually. Cognition has the best shot at getting there first. Invest in the future, not the present.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
