What's your experience with Electron alternatives
Electron is a widely hated framework on Linux, but what about the alternatives like Neutralinojs?
In their own words: In Electron and NWjs, you have to install Node.js and hundreds of dependency libraries. Embedded Chromium and Node.js make simple apps bloaty — in most scenarios, framework weights more than your app source. Neutralinojs offers a lightweight and portable SDK which is an alternative for Electron and NW.js. Neutralinojs doesn't bundle Chromium and uses the existing web browser library in the operating system (Eg: gtk-webkit2 on Linux). Neutralinojs implements a secure WebSocket connection for native operations and embeds a static web server to serve the web content. Also, it offers a built-in JavaScript client library for developers.
Do you experience alternatives like Njs to blend more in the desktop layout, install less junk, use less memory, are more compatible with Wayland,...?
https://tauri.app/ is very popular and does not need electron. It uses the OS native we view.
And 2.0 will support Android and iOS
I wanna use Rust to build mobile apps so bad. I don't really know what I want to build, but I want to use Rust to do it
Reinvent Winamp for Android and iPhones.
It will?? When??
I don't know, but probably soon. They release beta versions already.
Tau'ri, you say?
I have been using Tauri for a personal project of mine and I absolutely love it
Came here to say Tauri.
what apps use Tauri? I only know about Dorion which doesn't really work well from my experience
edit: ok so Dorion works well in an Ubuntu VM but it doesn't have a build for any other distro :/ also i found this https://github.com/tauri-apps/awesome-tauri
