Google Antigravity, a New Era in AI-Assisted Software Development

I tried writing a native Windows app using WinUI 3.

I wasted a day on trying to get some PNGs to render correctly, but no matter the config I used, the colors came out wrongly oversaturated.

I used Tauri with a WebView, and the app was rendering the images perfectly fine. On top of that the UI looked much better, and I was done in half the time I spend trying to fix the rendering issue in WinUI 3.

Never again will I go native.

To be fair WinUI3 is particularly bad. If you're forced to install a 100MB runtime anyway, might as well make that runtime be a browser.

Since Tauri uses the system's WebView, it shouldn't be that big. The docs say a minimal app could be 600 KB.

Yeah, Tauri is better in that regard. My point is if the comparison is with WinUI, you might as well use Electron.
