Comment on The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe

  Every single electron software i used was laggy mess, including Vscode. Tauri is more decent but still a browser.

  Tauri gives similar functionality but is written in rust, has good security models and is fast.

    More importantly, it doesn’t bundle fucking chrome

    Are Electron and Tauri drop-in replacable? So is it possible to run e.g. VSCode in Tauri?

      Dunno. Always avoided electron because everyone said how slow and crash print it is. I very much doubt it, though. Upgrading from tauri v1 to tauri v2 is already non trivial to the extent that I didn’t bother for a new project because I already had bindings and config for v1. I’d be very surprised if they just copied election got the interface for their shiny new, more principled, faster, leaner, less leaky, more secure, “better” web-as-ui thing.
