In this episode of PodRocket, Daniel Thompson--Yvetot joins us to break down what’s new in Tauri 2.0 and how developers are using the Tauri framework to build desktop and mobile apps with Rust and JavaScript. We discuss how Tauri lets developers use frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular for the UI while handling heavy logic in Rust, resulting in smaller app binaries and better performance than Electron alternatives. The conversation covers Create Tauri App for faster onboarding, the new plugin system for controlling file system and OS access, and how Tauri improves app security by reducing attack surfaces. They also dive into mobile app development, differences between system WebViews, experiments with Chromium Embedded Framework, and why cross platform apps still need platform-specific thinking. Daniel also shares what’s coming next for Tauri, including flexibility in webviews, accessibility tooling, compliance requirements in Europe, and the roadmap toward Tauri 3.0.
