Reviewer scorecard
“10x smaller bundles than Electron with native performance. Use your web frontend with a Rust backend.”
“The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.”
“The Electron alternative that delivers on the promise of small, fast desktop apps. Tauri 2.0 adds mobile support.”
“Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.”
“Tauri is what Electron should have been. Rust backend + webview frontend is the right architecture.”
“Local-first development tools for edge platforms will become the standard. Wrangler leads this pattern.”
