Tauri: An Electron alternative written in Rust

Have you tried developing relatively complex UI with QT? You need to hire a team of engineers and spend man-years of effort to build custom UX that in the web / Electron can be replicated with an npm install fancy-library.

Yes, I hate Electron, but the alternative is not QT; it's something like Sciter.JS with real Web API compatibility (or perhaps a stripped down WebKit2 which is much less resource-heavy).

I am convinced that the sort of Web API compatibility so many people demand is only a few native libraries away. I would like to start experimenting in this area but I can only get rust-sciter DLLs working with "vanilla" Sciter and not Sciter.js, and I don't want to use other languages.

I worked in a job where people developed very similar Qt and Electron apps, in both cases it was a one person effort and the development took about the same time.

Would you be able to mention these apps? I would like to take a look.

Not really, they were apps made for museum exhibitions, not apps that you can download
