Tiny and secure native apps using Vite + Tauri
summary
Shows how Vite + Tauri produce compact cross-platform apps by running the UI in the OS native webview rather than bundling Chromium, using Rust for the backend and a JavaScript API for common tasks. Demonstrates no Chromium embedded, IPC via Rust commands + JS invoke and one-way events, and producing a single inlined binary with assets bundled inside. Explains current lack of reliable local cross-compilation, the GitHub action for building/signing releases, and Tauri’s built-in auto-update with signature verification.
