Is there a tutorial that shows how to sideload a nodejs backend? I want to build a desktop application that uses a biometric fingerprint sensor. The company does not have an sdk for rust but they have one for JS. The other things is I'm not too good at Rust. I can do well with JS though.

Also, I wrote a post with more explanation and rationale behind it: marcin.page/posts/tauri-+-nodejs:-...
