I've started sketching out an app I want to develop and as I want it to have Windows, Mac and Linux builds I was starting down the Electron route but then noticed Tauri. Given this apps usage, amount of data it sometimes processes and possible later uses of the code Rust might have some advantages. Anyone on here used both?

@matt303@cyberplace.social The short version: Tauri is the correct choice and the Rust angle makes it more correct not less. Heavy data processing doesn't belong in JavaScript regardless of framework. In Tauri the natural architecture is — UI in web tech, computation in Rust, clean command interface between them. That's a good separation and Rust on the computation side means the data processing work is actually fast and the code is reusable outside the app context later.
