ghrl: Well, while Tauri is certainly nice, it's not quite what I imagine when I hear "native".
pasanhk: This looks like a massive level-up for the "AI-to-Software" pipeline. Moving from simple web-app generation to actual native desktop apps is a huge step for utility—especially if it handles the boilerplate for system-level APIs.The fact that it's open-source is a great move for the HN crowd. I’m curious, what are you using under the hood for the desktop shell? Is it wrapping an Electron/Tauri instance, or is it generating something like Rust/Python natively?Clean UI on the site, too. Excited to see where this goes!
frizlab: Me neither. For instance while Zed is nice, Sublime is better.
ramon156: What does this have to do with Tauri? Besides, that's apples to oranges. Zed has a lot more features, if you don't want that then Sublime is a better pick.
guessmyname: > frizlab: […] while Zed is nice, Sublime is better.> ramon156: What does this have to do with Tauri?Not @OP but I imagine they are thinking: “because Zed is built on top of Tauri and Sublime Text is not.”Sublime Text’s user interface is built on top of a mix of (native) UI renderers for each major OS [1], mostly based on Google’s 2D graphics library: Skia [2].[1] https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/hardware-accelerat...[2] https://skia.org/
afternoon12: How is this better than..Already existed platforms (both legacy and Indie)...like Antigravity etc..
tito777: I also use Antigravity. I want to have the live preview of what I'm building. I don't have it in Claude Code, Antigravity, or Cursor.
tito777: Under the hood, it is wrapping Tauri, and as the live preview benefits from a proxy-tauri backend to let you feel like you are already in prod mode. I like that feeling too. There is no Python, only Rust, AppleScript, and Shell script.
Barbing: That live preview sounds pretty neat!
tito777: Thanks, I failed after three attempts. I tried to build a clone of the current backend Tauri at dev time. The only approach that worked well was having a proxy. But now I'm looking into embedding a compiler inside the Tauri Rust at prod time.
pasanhk: Using Tauri makes a lot of sense here keeping the binary size small while having Rust's safety for the backend is a huge win over Electron. The proxy tauri backend for live previews sounds like a clever way to handle the dev-to-prod feedback loop. Curious if you have hit any specific hurdles with AppleScript for the system level automation yet?
Oxodao: Not native at all
tito777: Edited now. My main concern is how to embed a mini Rust compiler in Tauri for prod time.
