Question 1

Why migrate from Electron to Tauri?

Accepted Answer

Tauri apps ship far smaller binaries, use less memory, and start faster because they use the OS web view and a Rust backend instead of bundling Node and Chromium.

Question 2

Do I have to rewrite my whole app?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. The frontend largely carries over; the work is replacing the Electron/Node shell with a Tauri/Rust one and porting native integrations.

Question 3

Can you build a new desktop app from scratch?

Accepted Answer

Yes — new cross-platform desktop apps on Tauri/Rust, with signed builds and an update pipeline.
