Episode notes
Smaller Core, Fewer Attack Surfaces
- Tauri 2.0 shrinks the core and moves optional features into plugins to reduce binary size and attack surface.
- This modular design improves performance and security by including only what an app actually needs.
Start Projects With Create Tauri App
- Use Create Tauri App to avoid hours of setup and hit the ground running with the stack you choose.
- It scaffolds Vite, React, Vue, or other flavors so you can focus on development not configuration.
WebView Variance Drives Inconsistency
- Platform WebViews differ widely (WebView2, WKWebKit, WebKitGTK) and cause performance inconsistencies across OSes.
- Shipping a consistent Chromium via CEF can deliver identical 60fps behaviour and uniform features across platforms.
