#2Nice. It might be worth copying some of the introductory text from the Tauri package explaining what this does. Otherwise a person to lands on the readme gets a lot of technical detail about how it is built without any idea what it actually does.

#3Interesting how much cross-pollination is happening in the Python ecosystem with Rust.
I think the NiceGUI example is good but quite advanced, might be beneficial to contact the teams from Reflex or FastHTML, because if you could use PyTauri to create potential local apps with those popular frameworks, it could be a big win for them and that can help with marketing around the project.

#5Since Tauri is just a thin wrapper over the system webview, what's the point of having a wrapper over a wrapper?
I don't think the Python ecosystem was lacking in browser wrappers up till now.

#6I don't understand why people like Tauri - the fact it uses the system web browser completely destroys the main advantage of Electron: that you can test it locally and be absolutely sure that it will render like that on any other system since the browser is shipped with it.

I agree. I don't mind VS Code or some app a person did eats 300 MB of RAM and is Electron if it does the job done. By the way good luck implement something like rtl, i18n, text select and right click context menus in you favorite C/Go/Rust/ImGui/ImmediateModeWhatever library.
Wanna switch between Arabic, Chinese, English in a textarea or input or the whole app? Trivial in Electron. Again, good luck with that in any other environment.
Electron is superior for any text/form apps. HTML/CSS/JS are truly magical if you dive deeper and for any form-like classical type of crud apps there is really no better option.
With our computers getting more RAM and disk space every few years - especially compared to AI needs, Electron is actually super lean compared to those AI llms models. Funny enough, LM Studio is an Electron app ;)

For a lot of people the main advantage of electron was just being able to use the webdev stack for a desktop app. Tauri makes it less portable but is less bloated. Different tradeofs I guess.
Also: I think it’s kinda funny that Tauri is basically a very straightforward of example of trading developer comfort for benefit of the user, and you can’t imagine people using it.

That's not the main advantage of Electron. The main advantage of Electron is being able to use web developers to build your desktop software cross-platform for much cheaper.
