Rust Desktop Applications

Covers both Tauri for hybrid web UI apps and native frameworks like egui, iced, and slint. The approach here is practical: you get framework selection guidance, IPC patterns, state management, and cross-platform deployment strategies. Tauri is the standout for most use cases, delivering Electron-style development with 10x smaller bundles and a fraction of the memory footprint. The skill walks through the full lifecycle from architecture decisions through platform integration and shipping. Use this when you need native performance or system access but want to avoid the bloat of traditional Electron apps, or when you're building specialized tools that benefit from pure Rust GUI frameworks.
