But there’s still no way to get consistent results cross-platform without a web view, right? I guess Tauri isn’t even consistent because it relies on the system’s browser and they do differ to some degree.

My friend, inconsistency is the entire point. You now have incredible power to write truly native apps that fit in with the platform and follow all the standards. The bottleneck is now you, or whoever owns each target platform and understands what native apps feel like.

… good? I want my applications to be consistent with the platform they run on, not with their own stupidity on other platforms.

What’s wrong with something like Qt or wxWidgets for native crossplattform GUI frameworks?

Is consistent results what you want? non-native controls look and behave funny on iOS, and the iOS look on any other platform is annoying.

Skia is the 2D graphics library used in Chromium. A number of GUI frameworks (Flutter and Avalonia) directly use Skia to do non-native platform GUIs that are consistent across platforms.
