How does this compare to neutralino (https://github.com/neutralinojs/neutralinojs)

At first glance it’s the same idea but with more APIs to native functionality.

I haven't tried tauri itself, but both it and neutralino use the underlying "webview" C library https://github.com/webview/webview/tree/0.1.1

The big two that I see are:

- neutralino uses cpp, so there are likely to be many more memory safety issues here than with tauri (because rust).

- tauri does not force you to ship a localhost server
