Leaving electron.js to the past.

This content originally appeared on DEV Community and was authored by Akash Pattanaik

So, I recently started using tauri because electron.js was no longer working on my pc... I was amazed to see the release build size of the tauri app.
It was way smaller than expected.

Size Comparison

These are the sized of installers for windows. The project was just a basic hello world displaying page.

So as you can see, Tauri is the next desktop framework for webdevs... Electron.JS is nothing compared to Tauri.
Tauri by default provides various templates for new projects like vanilla.js, react, svelte.js, vue.js and a lot more in the future. The tauri devs are also working on bringing Tauri to Android and IOS.

Tauri depends upon Microsoft Edge Runtime2 and not bulky core apps like Electron.JS depends on chromium.

Getting started with Tauri

This is for windows only, get your OS instructions on tauri.studio

• Install Microsoft Visual Studio C++ Build Tools From Here
• Install Node.JS
• Install Rust
• Finally, Install WebView2

This will make your ready for developing in tauri...
