Re:Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust by flohofwoe on Friday February 19, 2021 @02:27PM (#26196965)
It's not a new idea, for instance

https://github.com/webview/webview

...has a fairly long history. It's great for extremely small application packages (when I tinkered around with it on macOS a few years ago I brought it down to 26 kilobytes).

The usual argument against the idea is that Electron gives you a fixed Chromium version to work against, while the system webviews are a moving target with different underlying browser engines.
