Tauri is an open-source framework for building desktop applications that combines a lightweight Rust backend with a modern web frontend (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.). Unlike Electron, which bundles Chromium and uses Node.js for the backend, Tauri uses the OS's native WebView and Rust, resulting in binaries 50-100MB instead of 150MB+. Tauri applications are fast, small, and secure. You write your UI in your favorite web framework and backend business logic in Rust, communicating via Tauri's command system. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux with a single codebase.
