Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“Beautiful docs from markdown with zero design effort. API reference generation and search work great.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“Documentation is your product's first impression. Mintlify makes great docs easy enough that there's no excuse.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
