That's what I intend to use it for, Mac and Windows... I'm starting on an app that I want to work cross platform (tauri/rust w/ react+mui) and want to be able to do manual testing or troubleshooting as needed on mac and windows without needing a separate machine.

My laptop is an M1 MacBook Air, and I do have an N100 I could use for Windows... I'd just assume use my fast desktop which even emulated is likely faster and not have to move seats.

yes, I think just the amount of friction it can reduce might be worth it in the first place.

Oh btw although there are many primitives which help transferring files between VM's and others by having sshfs etc., one of the things which I enjoyed doing in quickemu is using the beloved piping-server

https://github.com/nwtgck/piping-server Infinitely transfer between every device over pure HTTP with pipes or browsers

The speeds might be slow but I was using it to build simple shell scripts and you can self host it or deploy on cf workers too most likely which is really simple but I haven't done it

But for quick deployments/transfers of binaries/simple files, its great as well. Tauri is meant to be lightweight/produce small binaries so I suppose one can try it but there are other options as well

Piping Serrvers + quickemu felt like a cheatcode to me atleast for more ephemeral vm's based workflow but of course YMMV

Good luck with your project! I tried building a tauri app once for android just out of mere curiosity on linux and it was hell. I didn't know anything about android development but setting up the developer environment was really hard and I think I forgot everything I learnt from that but wish I had made notes or even video documenting the process

Fortunately/Unfortunately it wouldn't be a good experience for Phone use, maybe table as part of it will be displaying BBS-ANSI art and messages which lends itself to a larger display.
