I wasn't confused: both softwares let you create a cross-platform desktop app using html, css and js.

As others have said, Tauri is exactly the same sort of tool, sorry if the mention of Rust threw you off!

Some more:

I don't think it's the mention of rust so much as not providing context on what tauri is. Mentioning that it's an electron alternative would have cleared that up.

I would have assumed it was an Electron alternative or tooling for Electron. Either way, those kind of comments are quite annoying. Commenter didn't even click the link before replying with hostility.

> not providing context on what tauri is.

Their comment has a link to the Tauri GitHub repo.

Both are lightweight Electron alternatives, so it seems relevant.
