[Feature Request] Desktop app in Tauri #1560

Closed Tarek-Hasan closed 5 months ago

Tarek-Hasan commented 5 months ago

First, thanks for your ongoing work on Silex 3.

I know it's very early to talk about a desktop app. For next version of desktop app based on Silex 3, you should consider Tauri. It's lighter, faster and way less complicated than Electron; which is showing its age like an old beat up car.

Hope you consider.

Very interesting thank you ! The performance and the foss parts especially Did you use it?

Tarek-Hasan commented 5 months ago

I used apps built on Tauri. Though could not remember which apps as I have hundreds of apps on my pc. Also, I observed many apps built on Electron transitioned to Tauri and Edge webview (Gross, I know, right?) over the year. All because Electron devs unwilling to change their fundamental problem existed from its birth. Lack of runtime, ease of use, built-in essential features like tabs and mostly lack of an all-in-one builder. I know all of this can be done by third-party solutions, but that's not convenient.
