Frequently asked
Tauri or Electron?
Tauri by default (95% of cases) — 5-15 MB binaries, low memory usage, Rust security. Electron when specific Node.js libraries are needed.
Why not just a web app?
A desktop app is needed when: prolonged offline work, hardware integration (printers, scanners), heavy local file processing, dense keyboard ergonomics.
Do you migrate from Access / VB6 / Delphi?
Yes — it's a specialty. Audit + migration plan + rebuild on modern stack + data migration + user training. Typical timeline: 4 to 8 months.
