This project proposes to explore the potential of Tauri as a replacement for Electron in the Rocket.Chat Desktop App. However, Tauri is currently not mature enough to be used as a replacement for Electron. Therefore, this project aims to test the current capabilities of Tauri by comparing it to the existing Electron-based app and analyzing its limitations.
The project will involve building a prototype of the [Rocket.Chat](http://Rocket.Chat) Desktop App using Tauri, implementing all the current features that the Rocket.Chat Desktop App currently has such as notifications, download manager, auto updater, settings manager, trayicon etc and comparing its performance to that of the Electron-based app.
