This is a really horrible project and should be avoided IMO.

Not only are the instructions on their website incorrect for building & installation on M1 Macs, you cannot run the app without it crashing on M1. https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/2421 https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/2934

These things are not a big deal! Bugs happen. I would be more than happy to contribute and try to help fix these things. However, when this was mentioned (politely!) to the devs in the discord by a user one was actively hostile in reply: https://imgur.com/a/sHzSaae

This does not seem like a team that cares about its users one bit. I'll take the perf hit (is there one?) and stick to electron.

EDIT: After posting this knee jerk comment spawned from a night of frustration using Tauri a couple weeks ago, I think I would like to retract calling it a “horrible project.” It’s technically interesting, and even good (when it works, I hear), but this was easily the worst experience I’ve ever had in FOSS.
