the tauri builds are ready and tested on macos/windows, and should work fine on linux. however, i still need to figure out a solution to building on multiple architectures with tangled ci, which i'll probably use mitchellh.com/tack for
benefits of tauri over web app:
- tauri localhost allows for
httpconnections regardless of web engine (no mixedhttps/httpissues) no need to serve your server onhttps - app feels more native, and i actually have some os-specific styling set for macos to look closer to a native app
- possibly could add vibrancy to the sidebar in the future for macos/windows, which would look really nice 👀
- close app to system tray/dock
- native system context menus
and since we're using tauri, not electron, the bundle size is still tiny since we're not bundling an entire web browser, just using the system webview :)
