Why I chose Tauri over Electron for my SSH manager
The author discusses their decision to use Tauri instead of Electron for building an SSH manager called Termique. They highlight the performance benefits and reduced bundle size of Tauri compared to Electron. Despite some initial challenges with Tauri, the author concludes that the advantages make it a worthwhile choice for their application.
- ▪The Windows installer for Termique decreased from approximately 100MB to 12MB after switching to Tauri.
- ▪Tauri uses the operating system's native webview, resulting in improved performance and smaller bundle sizes.
- ▪The author experienced initial frustrations with Tauri, including a non-functional close button, but found the overall performance benefits to be significant.
