Doctave's core documentation project parsing code is written in Rust and we call it libdoctave. It takes as input a bunch of files and creates an in-memory structure that you can use to render a Doctave documentation site. It is used both in the desktop app and on our web platform, written in Elixir, via Rustler.
Also, our app is fast. We are using Tauri for the shell of our app and the business logic that compiles your documentation is written in Rust. It runs natively inside Tauri, and not in the browser environment (more on this below). This is how we can get such fast response times: we run native code instead of a bundle of JavaScript or even WebAssembly. Would it be possible to do this in a CLI? Yes, but the desktop app gives us a great environment to take advantage both native code and web technologies.
