Ask HN: What's Better?–Tauri or Electron?

I want to build cross-platfrom desktop apps. Which is better?

I heard that Electron is heavier. Btw, drop your advice and help me.

I've used both for side projects. Electron is still the king for ecosystem support, but the binary size of Tauri is just too good to ignore for simple utility apps. I'm leaning towards Tauri to keep the distribution lightweight

Tauri uses already existing renderers. Electron is an modified chromium.
