Comment on Ask HN: Any true alternatives to electron JavaScript?

Comments

tauri if you still want a web ui, otherwise iced/egui and skip the browser stack

egui is very neat indeed. With agentic coding, Rust UI dev is as easy as electron dev without the bloat. Electron was relevant when we had to manually code stuff.

yeah once agents can spit out the egui layout the packaging story is still the hard part
