Thanks for checking it out. The goal is for Desktop Docs to be cross-platform. We've had a lot of requests for Windows support, so we chose Rust to set us up for an upcoming Windows version.
App looks great, I'm on Windows so I can't wait to see it!

#25Given your destination was the Mac app, why not Swift/SwiftUI rather than Rust/Tauri? Just curious is all.
Curious as well. I’m planning to build a desktop app, haven’t use swift for a long time and I’m pretty new to rust. Tauri looks very promising. I really don’t like electron apps. They’re so slow to start even on lightning fast machines. Thanks for any insights!
The smaller bundle size with Tauri and blazing speed are well worth the effort.

Have you started your windows version testing? Any issues you've seen in the differences between browsers tauri would use on the different OSs?

What was the advantage of doing this that made it worth the pain?
