tauri came up.

tauri came up. for desktop apps so far, i only have linux (gtk + adwaita, typescript) and it's already gone pretty bitrotten since I've been focused on the mobile apps and browser extensions. i'm.... torn.
electron works. i hate absolutely everything about it, from the bloat to the security model. but I'm typing these words into an electron app, and for good reason. i'm not sure i'm quite brave enough to knuckle down on tauri, since i've heard it's still got a way to go in terms of maturity.

ghostty (semi-random example) is mostly zig with thin(ish) native ui wrappers on top. it's stupid-but-tempting to do something similar with a rust core. (very stupid, given that i don't really know rust.)
i would really like someone to talk me out of that by telling me what a great cross-platform native desktop hacking experience they had recently in... something that's not a browser.

@deobald @haeckerfelix and I used Tauri for the past few months to build https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi-gui
It's alright, but if the Rust support isn't important to you, I wouldn't recommend it personally

@deobald Huum, have you considered Dioxus ? https://dioxuslabs.com/

@deobald I presume you know about HumbleUI (and that I've managed to understand what your terms of reference are) but just in case you don't: https://github.com/HumbleUI/HumbleUI

@ju @haeckerfelix ok, that's great to know. rust definitely has its appeals but i'm quite confident rust is also a rabbithole i don't particularly need to go down ... the sensible part of me says not to, anyway.
