While I'm always excited to see Electron alternatives, they all try to address the same issues and fall short on the exact same areas.
Yes, Electron eats a lot of resources and generates big distributables. I would love to give my users snappier and lighter desktop applications while still being able to build them with front-end web tech. On the other hand, what keeps attracting me to Electron is how feature complete and well documented it is. I tried many alternatives but there is always a point where I can't do something because the API is missing.
I wish all Electron alternatives would join their efforts to make one good framework that can compete, not only in terms of performance, but features too.
So far, I've been working with Tauri[0] for a small project and found it to be working really well despite missing a few features that I needed (and that Electron has). I have high hopes that Tauri will become the best Electron alternative out there and to use it for all my future desktop projects.
