What tauri is
Tauri is a framework for building tiny, blazingly fast binaries for all major operating systems. Developers can integrate any front-end framework that compiles to HTML, JS and CSS for building their user interface. The backend of the application is a rust-sourced binary with an API that the front-end can interact with.
