Chromium or Tauri, you are still building platform specific binaries either way.


Sure but with Electron you don't have to worry about browser differences. And you can use experimental web stuff.

If your app is primarily a website and you want to wrap it as an app then I guess Tauri makes some sense. E.g. something like Slack or Gmail.

If you're just using it as a way to make a desktop app then it makes more sense to use Electron unless your UI is very simple and download size is very important (e.g. something like the Raspberry Pi Imager app; though that uses QtQuick).
