Electron vs Tauri: This Was Unexpected!! 

Sodium hypobromite is the inorganic compound with the formula NaOBr. It is usually obtained as the pentahydrate, so the material that is usually called sodium hypobromite has the formula NaOBr • 5H₂O. It is a yellow-orange solid that is soluble in water.

Electron dev trying tauri: "Noooo, where is my high ram and cpu consuming node.js?"

I'm mostly just waiting for WebGPU to become a major thing and for Tauri to support it myself.

Quick note Tauri uses Microsoft Edge's Web View2 on Window, WebKit Gtk on Linux and WebKit on Mac.

I just did an experiment with an electron application I made. With some minor changes and less than 100 lines if C, I can replace electron with WebKit. I think I will be migrating to that.

Damn I might just switch to Tauri. It looks promising thx btw dash

man I absolutely hate how slow so many of these modern apps, are I don't get at all why people keep up with all of it just because it somehow looks prettier, some years ago I would much rather just use some really old software just because it ran much faster. tauri really sounds exciting if it can really offer this performance with the looks

Expected Tauri to use far less memory. 100+ mb for a simple ap is still way too much. Wonder what is the memory footprint of the flutter

Another one cool close to Tauri which is Wails V2

Tauri unfortunately doesn't support embedded webviews which was a dealbreaker for my project.

Huh... I did not not know the difference was so high! Thanks for the video!

Tauri sounds great, but I have a few reservations - first off (and this is the main one), it uses different browsers on different platforms (Edge on windows, Webkit GTK on linux and Webkit on mac), so will I have consistent behavior? Not sure I want to have to test my app 3 times. Second, it seems new, so will there be the forums, plugin ecosystem etc.. Also, how mature is it - will I end up having to rework my app 3 or 4 times as the devs figure out the best way to do things? Don't get me wrong - great improvements over Electron, and I love the competition. Personally, I'm going to give it a year or two to mature, but then I'll give it a go.

Tauri just built different... 😉

fair, fair... now let's compare the build time...

First off all, if you start with "I hate electron", kind of makes you bias all the way. Then you are showing one app with 114BM and other with 130MB memory use and trying to convince us that this "can be" great difference. Tauri has it's benefits, smaller size, great utilities that let you do a lot stuff from your frontend (system dialogs, file system access etc.). One of the minuses of Tauri is the first download and installation. This requires a lot of downloading, first dev compilation, the same, first build same. From somebody with bad connection and behind VPN this is a killer. Took me several hours to get the Hello World to compile. Also, electron can build an app with simple .exe, how to do that in Tauri? without instaler?

what you used to make lazap?

I really wanna get started but I can't find any good tutorial videos. Can you tell me how did you learn this?

How is your Linux so beautiful. Do you customize it?

what linux desktop environment are you using?

hello dashcruft very nice video 10/10 recommend would eat it again im married to logic damn it

Oh man what btop theme and config you are using ?

Sounds amazing, will try

Can you do a video on your linux setup? Looks cool

In your experience are you using HTML or react thanks

Why jdk is used? Why not pure Rust?

We should start using Fyne and Golang then it will be even memory efficient than Tauri

Did you update electron to the latest version?

can you make a guide on how to make a desktop app using tauri?

how do i make my linux look like yours? cheers.

I’ve waited a long time for this…..

I don't use electron but this will have no effect on Electron, really. The embeddable browser is already installed anywhere that tauri works anyway. You don't tauri or electron or anyone else's framework to use it. Hooking js to your native code is fairly trivial without things like tauri. It's nothing new, been doable for ages. I was doing this with the activex IE nearly 20 years ago. You can use any language to do this, c#, rust, c++, take your pick. The memory usage is not really accurate because the browser process is listed as a separate process here. You could make this even smaller and easier by eliminating this framework entirely which makes the whole thing rather pointless.

Bigest flaw of tauri is that it is way less reliable than electron. Consider this things: - OS without embedded browser (your app wont run) - Font rendering FF vs Chrome (surprizes in your layouts, less consistency) - Electron === Single latest version of Chromium, vs Tauri === FF/Chrome/Safari and lots of hustle with compatibility - Undetermined feature set based on browser - You couldn't use "native" pluggins if doing something performant/vendor specific - Tauri uses more processes, which is less performant than +20 mb of ram. - ... Electron === rock solid reliability across all platrofms for price of 200mb of your disk space Tauri === lotery and fancyness, with theoretical performance benefits (V8 vs Webkit vs FF)

what is the song played here: 9:30

Why isn't anyone in the comment section telling this guy that he's wrong about Chromium vs. not Chromium? Tauri uses Wry for the the rendering engine, and on Windows it uses WebView2 which is Microsoft's bundled version of Chromium. More specifically, it's Microsoft Edge Chromium. It's true that Tauri doesn't ship with WebView2, however, Microsoft tells developers that they should not assume WebView2 is on the system but instead they need to ship the WebView2 binaries with their application. Microsoft's statement: "When releasing an app that uses Microsoft Edge WebView2, you need distribute the WebView2 Runtime, either by distributing the automatically updated Evergreen Runtime, or by distributing a Fixed Version of the Runtime" It's true that most Windows computers now have it, such as Windows 11. But try running your app on Windows 10, under Windows Sandbox. You'll see that the Electron version works, whereas the Tauri version does not. And forget about earlier versions of Windows (if you care about that). In reality, if the user has Office 365, WebView 2 will also be installed. You can also create your install such that when the user first runs the code, it will automatically download WebView2 and install it if it doesn't exist, which is very nice. But if you had the install on a USB, and no internet connection, you wouldn't be able to install Tauri and run the software in that case. You'd have to have an Internet connection to download the rest of the bits. All in all, I prefer Tauri's approach, over bundling everything the way Electron does. But let's not pretend this is comparing apples to apples.

second ez, dash upload wen, dash upload now 😎

Whats the music in the back called?

Why is Elektron not dead yet ?

What’s the outro music ?

But WebKit :( In electron, everywhere - chromium

Well, I'm not gonna learn rust

Well unfortunately I do not want to learn rust.. Electron is much easier to us for development ... Tauri is better for the user experience ...

I thought this was free robux

Tauri is great but mastering rust takes a lot of time unless you can live with too much magic code

Electron packages more features than Tauri. That's why it needs more resources and more time to be loaded. And only 1 exe file or multiple files only matter of how you package things. If that kind of performance is that much important, you gotta use c, c++ and rust to build an app.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

You tried to fool, bamboozle and trick us fellow members of your elephantine server, moreover asserting dominance over electron. However I object to your documentation. The test is unfair, you seem to have used different versions of code for testing and the code used for tauri is lighter than the one of electron. I demand a change of video topic, and removal of this unfair dominance assertion till found fair. Thank you for understanding my concerns.

Ong

but rust is still way harder to learn.

Dashcruft is Pulchritudinous. 🤌✨
