With Electron's UI powered by the same browser across platforms, you end up with a much more consistent experience. Makes sense to optimize for that.

I'd love to write more about bundling redis binaries into these apps soon. There isn't a lot written about it now (at least that I could find) and it was a lot of trial and error to get it working.
With the Electron version of the app, we had issues running our bundled binaries on Macs with Intel chip. That caused us so many headaches that we decided for the rebuild on Tauri that we wanted to focus on one platform first (Macs with Apple chip) before supporting other platforms.
We went with Tauri 1.4 and no issues so far. Will have to check out the docs for 2.0 migration and see what that looks like.
It's free to use and requires connecting your ConEdison account to see real-time and historical electric usage. The tool includes an energy usage graph that you'd see in your ConEdison portal, but with additional insights like peak daily and weekly usage patterns, percentage of usage occurring in off-peak hours, and recommendations for lowering energy usage.
