What would be the main differences Wails and Tauri? Rust's gurantees regarding type safety and parallelism? I image that the performance characteristics greatly depend on the chosen front end framework, or am I mistaken here?

I can only speak on Tauri, which I’ve been using to build a video editor, but with most of the heavy code living on the Rust side, the UI remains snappy and responsive even while the “backend” is seeking through videos or whatever.

I’m using Svelte, but I don’t think that matters too much. The popular front end frameworks are close enough in performance IMO. I think it would really come down to dividing up the operations so the expensive ones run in native code instead of JS.

Hey, does that video editor has a public repo or is it a private thing?
It's a paid app called Recut (https://getrecut.com)
I didn't think you would be using Tauri in a production app. + That's a really nice idea! I hope you the best :)
one main advantage I see over Tauri is that Wails generate a typescript definition for the functions exposed to the frontend from the go side
