A step towards the right direction, I am curious how it performs in relation to Ultralight[0]!

we do not embed node in the final binary, although you can use either the nodejs based cli or the rust cargo one.

Tauri distributables are still 10 times smaller than Ultralight. Regarding performance will have to do some reviews.

Tauri just uses the platform native webview, it's not a rendering engine.

I'm a bit surprised the new website doesn't mention this at all. The Github repo does.
