I have been using Tauri for a macOS app I'm making[1] and it has been great. The app is only 11MB and I've had most of the APIs I'd need.
However, there are still some rough edges that have been annoying to work with. I think for my next project I will actually go back to electron. There are two issues that caused me pain:
1. I can't use Playwright to run e2e tests on the tauri app itself. That's because the webview doesn't expose the Chrome DevTools Protocol, and the tauri-driver [2] does not work on MacOS.
2. Security Scoped Resources aren't fully implemented which means if a user gets the app through the app store the app won't be able to remember file permissions between runs [3]. It's not too much of an issue since I probably won't release it on the app store, but still annoying.
But I hope Tauri continues to grow and we start seeing apps use it more.
