Tauri or Flutter v3 for a Rust desktop app?

Though our open source mobile side is Flutter, but I can not decide either. Our desktop side uses Sciter, similar to html/js. We can use most of old html/js with Tauri. We can also reuse some mobile Flutter code, but our desktop design is super different from mobile. Flutter is not css based, few code can be shared between mobile and desktop per my understanding.

Drawback of flutter:

  • Debugging rust with Flutter is not conveninent.

  • Both of them are open source, but Tauri has much smaller code base, we can do code change on Tauri, but it is hard for us on Flutter.

I created a pool on my github discussions.
