I would be all over this if it was a native macOS app

I started Tolaria in Swift but met very real limitations especially in the Markdown editor part. It's very hard to build something that is Notion like in that department with Swift.

But give it a try because Tauri is very fast

Precisely. It would be awesome if it were an ACTUAL application.

I don’t care if it’s Tauri, Electron or whatever’s the new flavour of the same old lazy ass webwrapper technology.

A web app is not an actual application. Besides, I already have a browser, I don’t need another one just to open a single page so it can pretend to be an app while adhering to absolutely ZERO platform behaviour patterns.

Either go it native, or don’t even bother. If it can be run in a webwrapper, it can be run my ACTUAL a browser.

FUCK WEB APPS.
