Reviewer scorecard
“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“The proxy approach means minimal code changes. Cost tracking alone pays for itself when you have multiple models.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
