Thanks for checking it out. The goal is for Desktop Docs to be cross-platform. We've had a lot of requests for Windows support, so we chose Rust to set us up for an upcoming Windows version.

I know it’s probably still not ready for prime time, but I believe the arc browser team was building a windows runtime for swift bec they prefer to use swift everywhere.

I checked it out a while back. It still requires you to write two different UIs in two different frameworks: SwiftUI or Appkit on Mac, and WinUI on Windows. It's just that now you can write WinUI code in Swift instead of C#.

I mean I guess that makes sense as it’d be a pretty big project to port Appkit to windows APIs, but that’s not really a great benefit in terms of cross-platform development. I guess if you’re building something like a browser, you’re going so low level anyways that most of those cross-platform bells and whistles don’t provide much benefit.

Have you started your windows version testing? Any issues you've seen in the differences between browsers tauri would use on the different OSs?

We haven't started testing for windows yet. Are you on Windows? Happy to let you know when we're releasing that version.
