Tauri App for UI
· One min read
It's time to decide on the UI framework for my project.
Here are the requirements and constraints
- Single resource with only backend and systems development expertise
- Not very complex UI
- Rust as backend language
- Should be able to get Web developers as contributors later easily. So JS/TS frameworks support is needed.
- Quality sample applications
- Native OS support needed for number crunching, data processing and container technology interfacing.
- Open source community and ecosystem.
For the above requirements, I landed on https://tauri.app.
A quick search resulted in some good endorsements.
One example application is somewhat similar to what I have in mind. Here Awesome Tauri
Right away decided to support it with a tiny contribution as well.
Alternatives
- Mighty Flutter, But I do not have bandwidth to learn Dart and a new framework now. Need to leverage my little ReactJS knowledge.
- No UI development, but this might make the project not so useful.
