What would a dev do?
A few questions about what you're building, then the playbook a developer would reach for — and when to skip it.
A desktop app Start over
A dev would reach for
Tauri + React + SQLite
Small, fast desktop apps built with web skills, with data stored on the user's machine.
Why this fits
- Web skills build the UI while the OS webview keeps the download small.
- SQLite keeps data local and working offline.
Check this before you commit
Skip if you need pixel-identical rendering on every OS or rely on Chromium-only APIs — each platform's webview differs, and Electron is the safer bet there.
