sycamore VS tauri

Perseus is a fast frontend web development framework for Rust with built-in support for reactivity using Sycamore, server-side rendering, and much more. Sycamore is a frontend library that allows you to build interactive user interfaces with Rust. I’d say that Perseus is to Sycamore as Next.js is to React, so it’ll be helpful for you to have a fair understanding of Sycamore before jumping into using Perseus — although it’s not necessary to follow along in this article.

Now, I considered whether to spend more time fixing everything that now failed in sycamore 0.9. But there are major changes ahead which would require yet another major refactoring, to the point where I am not sure whether it would not be more of a rewrite than a refactoring, given my previous experiences with sycamore.

Sycamore.

Sycamore, Yew, or Seed if you want a full-stack solution. (Or Leptos if you want something that's faster but less mature.)

There are others, like Sycamore, similar story as Leptos but imo Leptos is (currently) more ergonomic.

I tried my first project with yew as frontend. And my experience was after some time similar to the already mentioned ones: It is a little more to take on than I actually wanted. And some things were not straightforward to achieve. I switched to sycamore for the other projects now and I am much more satisfied (but this could also be since I have some more experience in the Rust ecosystem by now). Changing from yew to sycamore was pretty easy and I can achieve most of the tasks with less code.

If you want to do fullstack/SPA stuff, check out Sycamore, Seed, and Yew.

If you want to do front-end SPA development, take a look at Yew, Seed, or Sycamore.

I have written a front-end (website) application in Rust that is used internally in production. I wouldn't recommend to use something like sycamore, leptos, dioxus, yew for you next puplic web-app now but i can absolutely see how this is used in the future as those libs mature.

I'd really like to see it compared to Tauri [0] which is the established leader in this space.

Consider hybrid desktop applications using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS as a view via the webview. Go Wails, a very performant desktop development framework, is based on this idea. Similarly, Rust Tauri apps operate on this principle.

- the only thing that tripped me up, was that re-building the project didnt't work due to an colliding filename error, but I found a closed issue at their https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/10192 which pointed me towards removing `rlib` from the crate-type, which solved that issue.

All in all quite a smooth experience, was done in an 1-2 hours or something, not sure.

> The user interface in Tauri apps currently leverages tao as a window handling library on macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. To render your application, Tauri uses WRY, a library which provides a unified interface to the system webview, leveraging WKWebView on macOS & iOS, WebView2 on Windows, WebKitGTK on Linux and Android System WebView on Android. ...

Tauri[0] is another HTML/CSS/JS-converter that generates small binaries by relying on the presence of WebView. Works pretty well.

Welcome to the first episode of our new series “Tauri Maintainers”, where we chat with Tauri maintainers.

There's also Tauri which takes a similar approach but uses Rust. I've had good luck with it so far.

https://servo.org/ is seeing new development alongside https://tauri.app/ which seems like it could replace Electron, getting them a little closer to native speed and memory usage.

It'd be nice to see more and more of Servo integrated into Firefox. Web pages rendered at 120fps and fewer memory leaks in long-lived many-tabbed browser sessions would be lovely.
