Edit: apparently the documentation indicating this was inaccurate -------- Original comment:

Dioxus appears to currently use Tauri for the desktop renderer (https://dioxuslabs.com/learn/0.6/guides/desktop/) so it seems like it's a cross-platform framework that uses tauri on the desktop.

However it seems like they to switch to their own html renderer for desktop at some point.



We don’t necessarily use Tauri… Tauri has a library called wry that’s basically a more maintained fork of the Rust web-view library.

We are great friends with Tauri but I think people misunderstand our architecture and philosophy just because we use one of their maintained libraries.

We’ve been working on a native HTML/CSS library for a while called blitz which is reaching stability soon.

I'm guessing some of that misunderstanding comes from the fact that it states "Dioxus desktop is built off Tauri" here: https://dioxuslabs.com/learn/0.6/guides/desktop/


Oh, my bad. That language has never been accurate and I'm not 100% sure why it's phrased that way. Just pushed an update.


I'm just going based off of the page I linked (which appears to be the documentation for version 0.6 which was just released) which says:

> Dioxus desktop is built off Tauri. Right now there are limited Dioxus abstractions over the menubar, event handling, etc. In some places you may need to leverage Tauri directly – through Wry and Tao.

Maybe that paragraph is out of date though?

From your comment it seems like wry is not (currently?) based on Tauri so it doesn't seem like it would make sense to "leverage Tauri directly – through Wry"; was wry previously based on Tauri and is that part left over from before that change? Or did the person who wrote the documentation misunderstand how it works?
