Tauri is a Rust-based cross-platform app framework. Although it is relatively new, it already has mature products built with it, such as ChatWise and HuLa. If you want to learn a cross-platform framework, it makes sense to pick one that truly ships across platforms.
write once, built apps for multiple platforms

If you are not familiar with GitHub Actions, you can read my intro guide.With the workflow above, pushing a tag like v* can automatically build the app, publish a release, and generate a changelog.The changelog is generated with Antfu changelogithub, which follows the Conventional Commits format. Using that commit style makes the generated changelog much cleaner and easier to read.
