Re: Tauri: Rust-based Electron alternative releases beta
#22I’ve seen this before, and I still have no idea what it does. If it’s an electron alternative, is it too much to ask to show an image of a webapp running on a desktop (preverably a variation of every OS) front and center on the landing page? I’d like to see it working immediately, without needing to watch any videos.
That's a great idea! We do have a revamp of the landing page ahead of us, now that our roadmap is almost completed.

#23I don't get the push for rust as a front-end language, it's very distracting with a lot of low-level features. Can we just stick with "best tool for the job"? Rust for performance-critical systems and, say, typescript for front-end? Using a single language for everything is a wet dream that always ends up in complexity and more work as you're fighting the "native" ecosystem.
Maybe you should spend like 5 minutes looking into the thing you're critiquing before critiquing it? Just a suggestion, given that Tauri literally uses typescript for front-end.

#24Should you bundle it with Deno, not Node, as Deno is also a rust project?
Deno and pure Rust are on the roadmap. Node.js is only used as an alternative to the Cargo based CLI.

you can write your frontend in whatever you want, for example using yew...

Don’t use a web based app stack?

I don't know, pick a better high level language: kotlin, swift, f#

#29Is anyone developing a cross-platform alternative to native OS webviews? The web hasn't been heading in a good direction lately.

Deno is on our roadmap, but the focus right now is performance, flushing out features, and performing a security audit. As was also said, Rust is used to bundle your app.
