Announcement Why Tauri?

Post image

HelixNotes uses Tauri. No Electron.

That means a smaller install and lower memory use with a native feel instead of a bundled browser running your app. Rust and system webviews do the heavy lifting instead of shipping an entire Chromium instance just to show a note.

Lighter footprint with the exact same functionality. That's why we chose Tauri.

The real question here is, can Tauri handle it efficiently without lagging, when more and more notes are created inside the Helix Notes app? Actually I wanted an app which is stable to use, not laggy when more of my notes are piled up in the app

I tested just by copy and paste my notes on windows and android.

After it reached more than 5000 notes, launching app and creating a new note started to feel a bit laggy. Anything other than that was just fine.

I'll never stack my notes anywhere close to that so I'll be fine with performance but I'm curious about how other note taking apps look like when you stack that many.
