- Nice. It might be worth copying some of the introductory text from the Tauri package explaining what this does. Otherwise a person to lands on the readme gets a lot of technical detail about how it is built without any idea what it actually does.
- Python, along with C++ enjoys the benefits of Qt. You can build great stuff with cross-platform Qt. And it won't be webview(Electron / Tauri) based.
What would be the benefits of this? I can't think of any yet.

- Interesting how much cross-pollination is happening in the Python ecosystem with Rust.
I think the NiceGUI example is good but quite advanced, might be beneficial to contact the teams from Reflex or FastHTML, because if you could use PyTauri to create potential local apps with those popular frameworks, it could be a big win for them and that can help with marketing around the project.
- Since Tauri is just a thin wrapper over the system webview, what's the point of having a wrapper over a wrapper?
I don't think the Python ecosystem was lacking in browser wrappers up till now.
- Not to distract from Python or Tauri, but lately I’ve been using Wails[0] which is similar to Tauri but with Go instead of Rust.
There are pros/cons primarily being Tauri seems to allow creation of mobile apps which Wails doesn’t, but overall it’s been fantastic since I find Go to be an easier language for me.

- So why can't Python call system WebView directly? Is passing through layers of Rust really needed here?
- What is Tauri?

- I don't understand why people like Tauri - the fact it uses the system web browser completely destroys the main advantage of Electron: that you can test it locally and be absolutely sure that it will render like that on any other system since the browser is shipped with it.
