“Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
“tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.”
