Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“Declarative React components for charts. The API is intuitive and customization through composition is elegant.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“The most popular React charting library for good reason. It just works for standard chart types.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
“Clean chart design out of the box. The responsive containers and tooltip customization are well-designed.”
