    I've been into open source for years, beginning with some translation work, and also contributing code to a few projects.

    Professionally, I have about 3 years of experience in full-stack web development.

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.
