Reviewer scorecard
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
