I made something similar using Tauri but there were visual inconsistencies between platforms thanks to webkit. At the time I remember thinking I wish I had used electron to buy cross platform parity.

And I experimented with gpui from zed, that was even harder to work with.

Of course they could chase performance, but ultimately time to market is the #1 factor right now, and coding agents still aren't good enough to just immediately realize an entire GPUI app from scratch with nothing more than a figma design. Still requires a ton of oversight.

Why do you care? If I chose platform X over Z, that is potentially because I like the visual particularities of this platform.
