Tauri

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. changelog_example

Allow GitHub Actions release permissions to read and write the repository

otherwise there’ll be errors publishing ReleaseError permisson

Fix: Next.js SSR window is not defined

Fix: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'xxxxxx')

This error is often caused by a plugin not being loaded. Initialize the plugin in main.rs.
