I would go one step farther - if you're vibe coding, skip Tauri altogether. I've been on-and-off vibecoding a GitKraken replacement using egui instead, and the memory footprint is very low. Otherwise can't tell the difference, as I'm not reading the code either way.

Using Tauri on Linux gave me appreciation for why Electron just ships an entire browser. WebKitGTK is kinda rough around the edges.

Isn't egui really cpu inefficient though? It repaints at 60fps if e.g. you move the mouse over it

You're probably doing something the LLM has less fluency with.
