Why PWA? You want desktop app? What about Electron? I think PWA is sometimes pain to implement properly

To have the app saved on mobile as a native-like app. Also I think it works better when you click on a push notification, it should open it rather than a new tab in the browser.

People don’t really like PWA on phones. Mobile application is better. You can use Capacitor to transform your application to native app with webview. Just an idea

Yeah I know, I’ll definitely do that in the future, also the Electron app. But right now I need the PWA (or maybe not ).
WBE User do you know how many people make use of Habits Garden as a PWA? (add to home screen)

Dobroslav Radosavljevič ever used Tauri for a desktop app?

Hey Dobroslav Radosavljevič so I’m not people? I knew that but the definition is new :joy: I really like PWAs most of the time and think most native apps are just unnecessary

I’m wondering if it’s a good alternative to Electron, which is btw pretty good.

Electron apps can easily become a mess, but I was always able to achieve what I needed to, even the more sophisticated things. BTW, for Inboxs I just need a plain desktop app with a good icon and nice push notifications.

I would give Tauri a try , even if I should use only the techs I already know

https://capacitorjs.com/ Can do native things like push notification

By using the OS’s native web renderer, the size of a Tauri app can be less than 600KB.

Tauri might not yet be feature complete but imho it’s a great framework and has a lot of advantages already
