Building a Slack/Discord alternative with Tauri/Rust
> One of the main core differences with Tauri is that it uses a Webview instead of using chromium like in Electron. This means that every desktop application doesn’t have to ship with chromium and can rely on the native browser’s webviews. The downside here is that because it is using Webview you have to deal with different quirks of different operating systems.<p>ElectronJS is a cross-platform framework. It is bloated because it ships a full cross-platform browser (Chromium) in order... well in order to be cross-platform.<p>Tauri wants to be less bloated, and therefore removes Chromium. Which makes it... not so cross-platform, apparently.<p>Genuine question: why not going for a JVM-based technology? That's cross-platform, and it doesn't require a web browser / webview to show text.
