3. cargo-packager

   2 2 270 8.4 Rust

   Rust executable packager, bundler and updater.

   

   Today we are pleased to share cargo-packager. It is Apache-2/MIT licensed, available as a Cargo subcommand, and even as a library so it can be easily integrated into any workflow. You can configure it with a json file, a toml file, with CLI flags, or as [package.metadata.packager] metadata in a Cargo.toml file. To make sure it works, we have tested it with a few examples of frameworks you might already have heard about:

4. tauri-action

   3 5 1,019 9.3 TypeScript

   Build your Web application as a Tauri binary for macOS, Linux and Windows

   

   Anyone can cargo build --release, but there wasn’t (and still isn’t) a standard method for creating, shipping, and verifying updates for GUI apps. So the Tauri Working Group (of which many employees of CrabNebula are members) built one. They even created an open source GitHub action to make it easy to manufacture and ship bundles and their updates.

5. dioxus

   4 165 24,221 9.8 Rust

   Fullstack app framework for web, desktop, mobile, and more.

   

   You can probably imagine the challenges of integrating such a system in a robust way that does a good job and improves on the status quo. We felt like the Tauri implementation worked well for Tauri apps. But there’s a problem: it was so tightly coupled to Tauri that the work couldn’t be enjoyed by other projects (not even the ones like Dioxus who were using Tauri’s underlying technology of Tao + Wry).
