Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“Point at Postgres, get a production GraphQL API instantly. Authorization rules and real-time subscriptions included.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“For Postgres-backed applications that want GraphQL, Hasura eliminates the entire API layer development.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
“GraphQL momentum has slowed. Hasura is excellent technology but the addressable market may not grow as expected.”
