One big difference between tauri and electron is that tauri can deliver to mobile, from my understanding. Is there an hybrid way to deliver with tauri on macos and windows, but electron in linux?
Any reason why? Tauri works fine on Linux as I understand.

So you could have multiple Tauri apps that all use the same Chromium under-the-hood (this also has benefits that security is maintained better, as it is no longer the responsibility of individual app developers to keep a bundled Chromium up-to-date).
And then if they wanted to, app developers could disable the fallback entirely, so if you don't have that Chromium package installed you just get an error message saying "please install this package". As this is linux we're talking about, I doubt that would be a very onerous demand for these users.

Yup this was also our first impression. Wait until you have users (no snark here, but its the reality). We do have around 1/3 of our users on Linux and WebKitGTK is plainly bad. Our application is complex I will give you that, but it isnt just that. Say you want to use WASM you have to check which macos versions you want to support and check the oldest possible webview (it doesn't get updated at the same time as safa…
> Say you want to use WASM... Using WASM, unless you're doing it for some really good reasons, seems like overkill for essentially a front-end layer. I think of the WebView in a Electron/Tauri app as comparable to the Qt Framework. It's not supposed to do any heavy lifting, and trying to do heavy lifting in JS suggests a mis-architecting of the app.
Unless you're just making blogs and content pages, it's just part of writing web apps now

Why are you using WASM? Tauri lets you call native Rust code.
I’ve been using Tauri for an app I’m developing. The Tauri team is super helpful in their Discord channel. Writing everything in Rust, including the UI (using Axum) has been nice. I’m really excited for 2.0 and mobile support! My app (very beta) https://meshly.cloud

I wouldn't say the team has been very helpful though. I think I've asked 2 questions on their discord channel. The first the response wasn't unfriendly but they clearly didn't read my message about what I'd already tried and it was along the lines of "just do this as documented here" which was in the message. The second time nobody replied. I self replied with my solutions but no one seemed interested, so it didn't feel like much of a community to start engaging more with.
The testing situation isn't very good. They have an unstable webdriver to try. My existing web code was already covered with playwright tests. I ended up writing a websocket layer to pass all the events and commands to a browser so playwright could drive the browser as if it were a tauri window. I'm happy that I can exercise the whole codebase and share tests between the web app and tauri app, but it's not a great solution. If I were a company making money rather than one person doing a side project I'd love to contribute to the test tooling.

Nothing says "private mesh app" like signing up for an account.

I'm using it for https://mixitone.com originally it was going to be just a web app, but making it work offline was quite compelling. Being able to access NFC card readers with rust code was the clincher. I wouldn't say the team has been very helpful though. I think I've asked 2 questions on their discord channel.

I was just about to start doing something like this as well for end-to-end testing. Do you have that on Github or be willing to share more about your approach?
