Reviewer scorecard
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“Simple turbo.json config, powerful caching, and Vercel remote cache integration. The easiest monorepo build tool to adopt.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“Less complex than Nx with good-enough features for most monorepos. The remote cache with Vercel is seamless.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
“Build caching and parallel execution are table stakes for monorepos. Turborepo makes them trivially easy.”
