Electron has revolutionized cross-platform desktop application development by allowing developers to leverage their web technologies at hand. This approach has power-driven popular applications like Atom, VSCode, and Postman. However, Electron apps encounter several comments for their higher memory usage compared to lower-level languages such as C, C++, Rust, or Go.

In this article, we will introduce Tauri, an emerging framework that addresses some of the limitations of Electron. Tauri enables developers to build binaries for major desktop platforms while offering improved performance and reduced memory footprint. The tutorial section of the article will guide you through the process of creating basic commands, adding a window menu, and building an application using Tauri. Let’s dive in and explore this exciting new framework!
