I'm using Tauri to play around with Rust. I like it so far.

I always thought it uses far fewer resources than electron.

What are you using from UI? JS or also Rust?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh JS too, which kinda throws me off because I'm not bad with Web Dev, but I'm not good either and my UI looks like a bad web page than a good desktop app.

I'm actually trying to keep it simple and write my own launcher like Alfred, Albert, Kupfer but I want it to launch my own custom scripts that I can load in a directory as well.

Yeah, UI is hard. I try to use good component librarian as much as possible but actually making it look consistent is difficult.

For the UI I'm using leptos. It's actually very nice and using rust on both front and back means there's couple less things to worry about.
