Quick takeaways

Tauri 2.0 expands the capabilities of Towery, allowing developers to build mobile apps using Swift and Kotlin for deeper integration with iOS and Android systems.

Crab Nebula, the company behind Towery, provides tools, consulting, and security audits to support the Towery community and ensure continuous evolution of the framework.

Deep dives

Towery: Building Fluid User Interfaces with Web Skills

Towery allows developers with web skills like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build engaging user interfaces and ship native apps. It leverages system WebViews, like WebView2 on Windows, WK WebView on macOS, and WebKit GTK on Linux, to render HTML in a compliant way. Towery projects are considerably smaller and faster because they use the built-in WebViews on the operating systems instead of shipping the entire Chrome-based WebView like Electron. Towery apps are around 8MB in size, while Electron apps start at 50-80MB. Towery has been gaining adoption, with projects like Space Drive and Fig.io, and the recent acquisition of the latter by Amazon Web Services validates Towery's readiness for critical systems.
