May I add https://flet.dev Uses python & flutter. And https://wails.io Uses Go.

Is there any good comparison wrt to Wails and Tauri? Or is the only difference between the two is that the backend is different?

They both use the OS' WebView to render the frontend. I only used Wails (I already knew Go) and used it to build simple desktop apps.

wails2 has room to improve and I think it will be done in wails3, also it does not have mobile support yet, both Tauri and Wails might add mobile support in the future, using webview underneath.

just played with flet, don't know why it mentions flutter in its home page as I saw nowhere flutter|dart is involved.

a helloworld python single binary is 28MB with pyinstaller, c libraries are shared and it is not a static executable.

it uses gstreamer underneath? not sure what that means, do I need gstreamer preinstalled on the platforms?

this seems like yet another Python based GUI framework to me(e.g. a new Tkinter), or I'm missing something fundamental.

The UI is built with Flutter but you don't write any Dart. They ship flutter wheel in python and they plan to support other languages like "Go, C# and others are coming next"[0]

so this is basically a flutter that does not use Dart? this is something major then.
