Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“Been using this for 3 months — it's become indispensable.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
“The demo is impressive but real-world usage reveals rough edges.”
“The API design is thoughtful. Integrates well with existing stacks.”
