  1. taurine

    Tauri + Node.js stater - electron alternative packed with some goodies (by marcincodes)

    Although it’s not straightforward how to make it sidecar work with node. I made small starter repo. You can find it here https://github.com/Perfect7M/taurine.

  3. pkg

    Discontinued Package your Node.js project into an executable

    To run NodeJS as a sidecar we need to pack it into binary. Taurine is bundling your server code and preparing it for packing into a single binary. Using Vercel’s pkg CLI tool we can compile it into a single executable binary. That binary is running with the Tauri application.

  4. fastify

    Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js

    Wait… there are more. Taurine comes also with support for Fastify and tRPC.

  5. trpc

    🧙‍♀️ Move Fast and Break Nothing. End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy.

    Wait… there are more. Taurine comes also with support for Fastify and tRPC.

  6. electron-quick-start

    Clone to try a simple Electron app

    Tauri has a small footprint by default but what about when we pack NodeJS binary with our app? The result of this is surprising. Taurine app is 3 times smaller than electron app. Compiled the Tauri app in .app the format has 63MB and the electron app in the same format has 205MB.
