Tech stack choice for a cross-platform desktop app with Raycast floating window feature.

Electron apps are too big for a small app, and I didn't see many production applications in Tauri on StackShare.io. Any advice on how I should start this side project? Much thanks!

by "that" do you mean both small size and reliability? I'm checking what apps are using it

you should check gtk for that any client binding is just making it easier for you to use

I couldn't find information on stackshare. But it seems many linux apps are using GTK on from what I saw on reddit and the GitHub

Yeah, I just found out that Shadowsocks (a tunnel proxy app) uses GTK. Seems reliable to me.
