i am very intrested in tauri and have high hopes for it and would like to switch to it, and later with the androida and ios support, the only reason i am reluctant is the fact there isn't a solid backend api, and its complex to setup for beginners web developers, though I am a rust developer so I have the toolchain installed for me.

And because I am a rust developer, i'd personaly use their wry engine, a striped down version of tauri,

if I ever want to build a rust powered app in which I have full control of the application backend.

That's true, it can be very confusing for webdevs to interact with the rust API of tauri. tbh, I am backend dev and I myself found it quite difficult to use the RUST API. But the pro's of Tauri are they have a great community. The discord community of tauri really helped me a lot.

The setup part will be hard to implement in existing projects, else new projects are pretty fast forward.
