Title: Tauri: Cross-Platform desktop applications with Rust and web technologies

Date: 2025.05.19

Start: 20:30

* Tauri: Cross-Platform desktop applications with Rust and web technologies by Liel Fridman

Language: (Hebrew)

Length: 40 min

Developing desktop applications with web technologies has been the norm for quite some time (at least for non-realtime applications). Slack, VS Code, Discord, Figma, 1Password, and more apps have been built this way. While Electron was, and still remains, a great choice for doing this, there is a new contender in town. Meet Tauri, designed for secure and lightweight desktop applications, without sacrificing on user experience, and while still using the mature web technologies we know and love.

In this session, I will introduce Tauri, and we will build a simple application using it together.
