Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

End-to-end type safety with Eden treaty is the killer feature. Bun-native performance is excellent.

80/100 · ship

10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

Bun-first means limited runtime flexibility. If Bun adoption stalls, Elysia is stranded. Hono is safer.

80/100 · ship

The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Type-safe APIs without code generation is the right direction. Elysia's DX hints at what web frameworks should feel like.

80/100 · ship

Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.
