Modrinth 
@gamingonlinux A small correction: It *is* actually web-based (specifically Vue), but it's not Electron, it's Tauri. Mainly, making it web-based, while it might be disappointing, makes the most sense logistically, since it allows us to reuse code between the website and the launcher. Also, we weren't able to find a Rust GUI lib that satisfied all our needs.
@modrinth thanks fixed 👍
Kainoa Written in Rust, this is not yet-another Electron thing but instead uses Vue.Not quite. Vue is the UI framework (which can be used in both Electron and Tauri), but Tauri is used as the runtime instead of Electron.
@gamingonlinux @kainoa Don't worry, it's not your fault that the JS ecosystem is so damn messy.

@modrinth @gamingonlinux @kainoa does it work better than electron? because i hate browser-oriented apps so much because of their cpu and ram usage
@qugalet Tauri apps do tend to perform noticeably better than Electron, yes. While I'm not sure what the usage would look like if it were an Electron app, I'm currently getting 73MiB of memory use (give or take) from having it open in the background, and an insignificant amount of CPU usage besides a small spike on startup. Attached I've provided my KSysGuard graphs when opening the AppImage (the red line marks when I opened it).
