MudBlazor VS tauri

Our website is updated as well: MudBlazor - Blazor Component Library

Though I can't develop beautiful UI and good UX even if my life depended on it. I can write a functional front-end, but don't expect it to be pretty. I usually ask for assistance regarding that from our UX designers instead where they essentially layout the whole UI (either on figma or Photoshop) so I just need to make it functional. Component based frameworks these days (JS, and Blazor) really helps at least. The UX guys usually make sharable base components that the company needs (buttons, grids, etc...), which includes all the styling and animations and we use those instead to create decent looking UI. For personal stuff I use MudBlazor which kinda does the same, but I do know a bit of css to customize when needed.

There are a ton of component libraries out there. I like the mudblazor library. https://mudblazor.com

There are grid controls from the usual commercial vendors like Radzen and Telerik. I used them briefly during a free trial. It has a funny name, but MudBlazor [1] has been the MIT licensed library I have been using lately. I have been using their Table control, which may be what you are looking for in a data grid.

It seems to be a known issue a known issue. By default, external libraries such as MudBlazor are not trimmed

I recommend Mud blazor if you're going for Material design. For other design languages Andt Blazor's pretty polished and there's Blazorise as well if you want to be flexible (it supports Antd, Bulma, Bootstrap and Material via configuration).

The ones I've used that's pretty good are MudBlazor (Material Design), Antd blazor (Antd), and Blazorise (Multi design support via configuration). There's also the newly announced Fluent UI for Blazor at MS build that's from MS themselves but I haven't tried it yet.

There's Uno that's been talked about by MS community standups if you wanna use UWP XAML to do the Job. If you wanted to use Blazor though, you'll have to at least learn a bit of CSS and Html. Luckily you can find really nice component libraries like mudblazor that does a lot of the nitty gritty html + styling for you. So you'll just have to use their components most of the time and with little to no JS required (depending in your usecase).

Hi, dear Tauri! Long time no see. I published my first post, Developing a Desktop Application via Rust and NextJS. The Tauri Way almost a year ago. Since then, Tauri has become stronger. I'm happy about that! And now, I am very pleased to make a useful contribution to the Tauri community. As a full-stack developer, I frequently face situations where I need to start a DB-based UI project as fast as possible. It's stressful if I need to start the project from 100% scratch. I prefer to keep some boilerplates on hand, which will save me time and nerves and will be the subject of this article.

Hey Thanks!

Just electron & vite. I might actually migrate off electron, Tauri (https://tauri.app/) seems to be getting more stable and it's gotten great reviews.

I think this is the boilerplate I used though https://github.com/cawa-93/vite-electron-builder.

Well the great thing about WebAssembly is that you can port QT or anything else to be at a layer below -- thanks to WebAssembly Interface Types[0] and the Component Model specification that works underneath that.

To over-simplify, the Component Model manages language interop, and WIT constrains the boundaries with interfaces.

IMO the problem here is defining a 90% solution for most window, tab, button, etc management, then building embeddings in QT, Flutter/Skia, and other lower level engines. Getting a good cross-platform way of doing data passing, triggering re-renders, serializing window state is probably the meat of the interesting work.

On top of that, you really need great UX. This is normally where projects fall short -- why should I use this solution instead of something like Tauri[2] which is excellent or Electron?

Welcome to the 2nd episode of our series “Building with Tauri”, where we chat with developers who build amazing projects and products using Tauri.

Tauri seemed like the "thing" I should switch to because everybody loves Rust (heh), and because it ships significantly smaller apps.

First of all, I will be using npm as my package manager but feel free to use whatever you prefer. Find more info here.

Today I'm talking about Tauri! Do you know all the various tools that allow you to develop native applications starting from web languages? They often need an intermediate compilation, in the middle of which you end up encountering various problems not always transparent and directly solvable with a language mostly detached from native development. On the other hand, there's still the ease of developing attractive and easily usable interfaces, which are more difficult to develop with low level languages.
