Hey DEV! 👋
If you're building a desktop app in 2026, the first big architectural question you usually have to answer is: What framework are we using?
For the past few weeks, I’ve been building Quantamind—which is essentially "Postman for local AI models." It's a dedicated workspace for prompt iteration, side-by-side model comparison, and debugging local AI streams.
When it came time to pick a framework, the default industry answer for cross-platform desktop apps is usually Electron. It’s mature, it's widely adopted, and the developer experience is great. But for this specific use case, Electron was completely off the table.
Here is why I went with Tauri instead.
