  • authme

    Simple cross-platform two-factor (2FA) authenticator app for desktop.

  • In this article I'm going to compare Electron and Tauri using a real world app: Authme. Authme is a Simple cross-platform two-factor authenticator app for desktop. It's not a big app and not very complex, perfect for a little comparison. You can take a look at the source code of the Electron app here and the Tauri app here. My goal it that the Tauri app eventually replaces the Electron one.

    Raw browser/feature support data from caniuse.com

  • Electron uses Chromium under the hood so your user sees the same on Windows, Linux and macOS. Tauri on the other hand uses the system webview: Edge Webview2 (Chromium) on Windows, WebKitGTK on Linux and WebKit on macOS. Now here comes the bad part, if you are a web developer you know that Safari (Based on WebKit) is always behind a step from every web browser. Just check out Can I Use. There is always a bug that you are not seeing from Chrome, only your dear Safari users. The same issues exists in Tauri, and you can't do anything against it, you have include polyfills. The winner has to be Electron here.
