## The Hook

Tauri is Electron without the memory footprint.

## What's Good

Bundles are tiny compared to Electron. System webview means no bundled Chromium. Rust backend enables native performance. Security model is well-designed.

## The Catch

Webview inconsistencies across platforms. Rust learning curve for backend code. Younger ecosystem than Electron.

## Verdict

Desktop apps that do not need 200MB of Chromium.
