I'd highly recommend Tauri. It's much much much faster and you can use svelte for the front end and enjoy all of those benefits.

The "downside" is that all of the backend is written in rust which can be trouble to learn... (Downside is in quotes because rust is my favorite language and I would legally marry it if the law cared about the true meaning of love) However! If you don't care much about the backend stuff or most of that is gonna be simple anyway... Just use it. It's better in every way

Edit for context: I'm the lead developer of a "popular" (it's as popular as you can be as a niche tool for a niche community) open source project that uses Tauri with a svelte front end and rust in the back end.

There's also a Golang alternative that does not have 6 GiB build folders like Tauri / Tauri 2.

(Tauri generates like 3 MiB binaries. It's the build folders that are huge. Also stay ready to compile huge Rust packages!)
