https://tauri.app/

it is a wrapper around underlying os webview, basically you load your apps js/page in that webview, if you want to do more native things then you can communicate with that app with ipc (probably tauri_sdk_thing that wraps that ipc )

kinda like electron but donot have to ship chromium browser so less ram usage/ binary size

also since it is a warapper around webview not a lib_chrome_libary like in electron so it has less control in some case otherwise pretty great idea

It's safe to assume this page assumes some prior knowledge of Tauri[0] and Vue[1], which would answer your question :)

It is something like Cordova?

In the sense that it's a thin wrapper around a basic web app, yeah. Although Cordova is/was aimed more at mobile developers specifically and things like Electron and Tauri generally sell themselves as desktop first.

The support for all is technically there for all three (and others, like Capacitor) but there's always a few caveats for each and they're rarely the same.
