Screw Electron. Check out Tauri (Rust over Node.js)

I enjoy using HTML & JS for UI design because it is very familar as someone who is primarily a website developer. In wanting to make Windows applications with HTML & JS, I mostly had no choice but to use Electron. I hated it though. The minimum packaged .exe size is around 60 megabytes. Really, that's my only personal reason. The clunky export. I've received reports from users of my software that the app would be laggy. I suspect due to it's unncessarily high CPU and RAM requirement, which is problematic on low end computers.

Now it's 2023 and Electron is not the only real option anymore. In fact, I bet it's about to get wiped out. That or I'm another cringe lord jumping on the Rust hype train. 

I've just found out about Tauri and I'm hyped to port all my Electron apps over to it. Just a couple of reasons. 

1. It uses Rust for the backend. We all know the wonders of Rust. High speed and reliability.
2. Much smaller bundle size. For a minimal app, it may be around 8Mb. Compare that to Electron's 60Mb minimum.

Check out Tauri if you develop with Electron at all.
