I read on this forum about a way to develop multi platform apps using JavaScript, html and css, which works by including a full browser in the application. Today I tried to look of such of concept and found the following github page:

https://github.com/Elanis/web-to-desktop-framework-comparison

That supposedly compare different options using this concept.

My objective is to be able to develop for android, and the list mentions that one of the option called tauri can do that. It is license MIT. Now, I am assuming that the entire workflow will use free software licenses.

Does anybody has experience developing using this method? Do you guys thing trying tauri be a good idea?

I remember a talk in libre planet of something in those lines but I don't remember what framework they were talking about:

OK, I found the talker in that libre planet talk, his name is Marc Prud'hommeaux, who seem to be part of the f-droid project, and the developer of the Skip, which seems like allows it user to develop both ios and android apps using the same code. I wonder if is free software.

Tauri uses Rust. I don't have a problem with Rust. Hope I don't start a flame war with that statement.
