• Indie Developer / Startup Founder

• UI/UX Engineer (Desktop Apps)

Tauri is increasingly adopted as a lightweight alternative to Electron, making it a highly relevant and in-demand skill for modern app developers.

1. What is Tauri?
   Tauri is a framework for building cross-platform desktop apps using web technologies with a Rust backend.

2. How does Tauri differ from Electron?
   Tauri apps are smaller, faster, and more secure, while Electron bundles Chromium, making apps heavier.

3. What role does Rust play in Tauri?
   Rust provides the secure, native backend, handling system-level operations.

4. Can Tauri be used with frameworks like React or Vue?
   Yes, Tauri integrates seamlessly with React, Vue, Svelte, and other frontend frameworks.

5. How does Tauri ensure security?
   By isolating the frontend from system APIs, requiring explicit permissions for backend access.

6. What are Tauri plugins?
   Plugins extend Tauri functionality with additional APIs and features.

7. How does Tauri handle communication between frontend and backend?
   Via secure commands and events, allowing JS and Rust to interact safely.

8. How do you deploy a Tauri app?
   Tauri builds native installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

9. What types of apps are best built with Tauri?
   Lightweight desktop apps such as productivity tools, dashboards, and utilities.

10. Why choose Tauri over native development?
    Tauri lets developers use web skills while achieving near-native performance with Rust.
