Tiivistelmä
The objective of the study is to investigate the feasibility of adopting Tauri—a framework for building small, fast, secure, cross-platform applications—as a primary development technology. While the work is motivated by the author’s own interests and requirements, its intention is to provide insights that are useful for individual developers and teams evaluating cross-platform solutions.
The study is based on a literature review, theoretical analysis, and a practical case study. The literature review traces the evolution of web and mobile application development and situates Tauri within this landscape. The official Tauri material, such as documentation, source code, and architectural descriptions were analyzed, and a prototype YLE RSS feed application targeting macOS, iOS, and Android was implemented.
The study concludes that Tauri is a viable choice when lightweight binaries and reuse of web technologies are important but that further maturation of the ecosystem is needed. The findings can help practitioners judge whether Tauri fits their own projects and point to future work, such as richer use of plug-ins, larger-scale user studies, and systematic comparisons with other cross-platform frameworks.
