Hacking Tauri for Designer

5 days ago

Tauri frontend can be opened in a browser with all functionalities working the same as in a normal app window.
Tauri uses Webview, but running it in a browser required building fastrepl/char/plugins/relay due to missing __TAURI_INTERNALS__ globals.
The line between 'developer' and 'designer' is blurring, as shown by tools like Baby Cursor in Cursor's integrated browser.
fastrepl/char/plugins/relay enables Tauri functionality in browsers by replacing missing globals and routing calls via WebSocket.
The 'tauri dev' command requires Rust and other dependencies, making it resource-intensive and time-consuming.
A Staging build exists for testing, enabling UI iteration with TypeScript changes without requiring Rust builds.
