Hey @dedsyn4ps3 !
Good article, I have rated this as High Quality!

I personally had written on this topic 2 years ago and it went quite viral.

Its sad 😔 to see that people till now haven't yet adapted to this change. But thanks for posting!

Thanks for the comment @akashpattnaik! I started using Tauri a couple years ago myself and have written a couple articles since then. It's been an awesome experience to share the project with others and see it continue to grow such as it has!

tauri is amazing, i've been using it in my project kftray (a menu bar app for kubernetes users) and it's been a very good experience. i'm excited to migrate to tauri v2.

I could see the potential of this framework. The major problem of the electron was the package size and memory usage. This really gives a boost to desktop app environment around the globe. Lets hope for a good community to develop around this tauri for a better support.

It gives it a huge boost, lemme tell ya! I've been using Tauri for several of my desktop projects, and they've been working on Mobile support as well that's still in development (which I've written a walkthrough about too btw)!

Tauri uses the native platform WebView which can make it behave inconsistently across different platforms. Whereas electron ships with chromium which guarantees a consistent cross platform experience.
This is the gotcha with tauri.

Great article!
Do you have any experience or comparison regarding the memory usage differences between using tauri and electron?

Collapse

Ed Rutherford

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I primarily focused on binary size comparisons between the two, and shared a screenshot of the differences in my Medium article. As for memory usage, I have not documented all of the various facets of resource utilization, but I can say that because both are using the same web-based frameworks under the hood (presumably) the overall memory usage would probably be fairly similar,

It's important to keep in mind though that even if that happens to be the case (though I can almost certainly guarantee that Tauri is slightly more efficient resource-wise), the biggest improvement over Electron is the eradication of needing the same kind of bridge originally needed by Electron for the front end to make function calls to the back end.

With Tauri, the inter-process communication is seamless and much smoother than I usually experienced in my Electron-based projects!

One of the major challenges of Tauri is that it doesn't guarantee a consistent, or even eventually-consistent degree of API support.

An immediate example of this is WebGPU access. If Tauri ran Chromium everywhere, an app could use WebGPU on most desktops that will support it's current version, either right now, or very soon.

Because Tauri uses the default browser, the release date for a Linux app using GPU compute is "soon-ish?" and Mac is "ehhhhh". And because it goes with what is on the path, there is no accounting for version, either.

I’d really like there to be a dynamic installer process that allowed you to check for certain requirements and then check for other browsers, and then install a different head, as a last resort. No WebGPU in Safari? Is Chrome installed? Go with that. No? Then let me install a portable version that this Tauri app and all others can use.

I been using Tauri for over a year now. It's a great project.

Except for Linux users, the web engine used is webkit and it's crap. I can't express how much I hate it, it's like you're back in the stone age. Windows uses webview2 engine and it's great but it will never(as I can see) be available on Linux and I don't code on either windows or mac, I only use Linux and this saddens me.

This is not a Tauri issue, but somehow an issue nonetheless for Linux users. :(
