tauri: A framework for building small desktop and mobile applications with a web frontend and a Rust backend.

What problem it solves

Tauri provides a way to build applications with a front-end that compiles to HTML, JS and CSS and a Rust-sourced binary backend. It uses the system webview to render the user interface and supports development and distribution across desktop and mobile platforms.

Key features

  • Any web front end with a Rust backend — Tauri does not impose a front-end stack: any framework that compiles to HTML, JS and CSS can be used, while the backend is a rust-sourced binary exposing an API the front-end can call.

    Source: README

  • Native system webview rendering — Rendering is delegated to the operating system's own webview through WRY, with a unified interface across desktop and mobile platforms.

    Source: README, ARCHITECTURE.md

  • Built-in bundler for desktop formats — Applications can be packaged into common bundle and installer formats for desktop systems without adding separate tooling.

    Source: README, crates

  • Desktop and OS integration features — Beyond packaging, the framework includes an updater for desktop builds and integration points such as tray icons and native notifications.

    Source: README

  • Cross-platform support and tooling — Development and distribution are supported across desktop and mobile platforms, and the project ships workflow helpers for CI and editor integration.

Quick start

Copied verbatim from the project's README.

npm create tauri-app@latest

Who it may suit

This may suit developers who already know their preferred web front-end framework and want to pair it with a native Rust backend for desktop or mobile packaging. It may also suit teams looking for a shared architecture and tooling across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

Topics to discuss

  • Which front-end frameworks have you used with Tauri, and what did the integration feel like?

  • How do you handle updates and native packaging for apps distributed across desktop and mobile platforms?

  • What improvements would you most like to see in the architecture, the CLI, or the plugin ecosystem?
