I think you're right - the Tauri vs Electron comparison isn't quite the same scale of difference.

Both still run web tech in a wrapper, just with different performance characteristics. The local-first vs cloud distinction is more fundamental, especially for tools that interact with platforms like LinkedIn.

When I built ZenMode, the core insight was that LinkedIn can easily detect automation coming from AWS/datacenter IPs, but when your desktop app uses your actual Chrome browser and home IP, it's indistinguishable from manual usage.

That's why we went with an Electron/Puppeteer architecture running locally rather than yet another cloud service. Check it out at https//zen-mode.io if you're curious about the local execution model.
