So I checked and my app done with Tauri uses 50MB of RAM. Simple PWAs I’ve checked using about:memory in Firefox use 40-50MB. Native apps done with egui or iced use ~25MB. The difference is really small and taking into account all the advantages of Tauri (more mature framework, easier packaging, better DX, better components library) I’m not very motivated to learn a native library just to save 20MB of RAM. PWA would be an interesting option (very similar to Tauri but maybe with easier distribution) but in the near future I want to work with Android Auto so I will need to work closely with native Android API and I already know how to do it with Tauri.

Yeah, I’m sure I used it wrong :)

I meant that as “he’s talking about everything without a script, deep analysis of public opinion or PR team”. If I tried that people would burn at the stake after the first hour. Both left and right wingers.

Yeah, I’m not saying what I’m for or against, just saying what EU will do and why.

And I don’t think anyone will see letting Americans in as an appeasement. By numbers most Americans are not MAGA so US wide ban would be unfair group punishment, you want to leave the door open for anyone who wants to escape US and punishing normal citizens will not change anything. EU is not in a position to fight US. They way to win is to stand your ground on human rights and work to become independent of American influence which EU is doing moderately good job at.

I’m not a fan, never liked the guy, but the whole streaming underworld is just so silly. The guy spends whole days talking about random shit live and I’m sure there’s hundredths of right wingers scrutinizing every second of it trying to find anything that could discredit him. Of course he will have “controversial moments”. If by now that’s all there is he has to be a real fucking saint. I still don’t like him thought.

So all the business meetings will be happening in Europe. It’s still a win for Europe. Governments rarely do things just to show people what it’s like.

Never. European countries gain nothing from tourists going to USA. They get money from USA tourists coming to Europe. It’s a win-win for Europe: more European tourists staying here while US tourists still coming to spend their money. Why fight it?

Firefox requires a PWA extension.

And the extension requires a package from a 3rd party repo. Probably that’s why I missed it until now. It works nice on Android though. Maybe I should do a PWA… But it’s like… learn new tools, host it somewhere… I will think about it. Thanks!

Do you know any websites that integrate into Linux desktop and Android like native apps? I mean I can run it from cmd/icon, and it opens as new window without any decorations? I never saw it but if it’s works fine it’s an interesting option.

You’re actually right, by now browsers have APIs to do most of the things apps do. Technically you could convert most apps to websites. I guess as a user I just don’t want all my apps to open a tab in my browser. I want to move apps between virtual desktops and monitors independently and I don’t want my app’s window to be clattered by all the menus from my browser. On mobile I also prefer switching between apps than between different tabs. For me the best compromise is:

• for system tools that don’t have to be cross platform and critical apps write native apps
• for small/medium cross platform apps use webviews like Webview2 or Tauri
• for big apps like Teams or Discord just use a website

Just use the website then?

It is a good solution for some apps but if you need to store data locally, use push notifications, run something in the background or access any native APIs you have to go with a native app.

It’s because people want cross-platform apps and web is the easiest way to do it. Yes, you have Flutter, KML or Qt but those are often hard to work with (looking at you, Flutter) or it’s difficult to find devs that can work with them. You choose web (JS/wasm) and you have plenty of devs familiar with the tools and you can support all the platform easily. I’m using Tauri for my personal projects because it’s fun and easy. I could use Qt but I don’t want to work with C++ or Python, at least not in my spare time. If anyone can recommend me a nice framework supporting Linux and Android and using modern language I might switch. I haven’t found one.
