This PR introduces Tauri as an alternative build option to Electron, providing a more lightweight and efficient architecture while maintaining full feature parity.
🏗 Architecture Decision
We add Tauri build option to enhance Jan’s performance and cross-platform compatibility. Unlike Electron, which bundles Chromium, Tauri leverages the system’s native webview, resulting in:
✅ Smaller app size (MBs vs. Electron’s hundreds of MBs)
✅ Lower memory & CPU usage for better efficiency
✅ Tauri has many security features built-in by default
✅ Broader platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile)
The app logic remains in the Next.js frontend (this can be changed later on), while native functionalities are handled by Tauri’s Rust backend. Cortex is shipped as a sidecar binary, ensuring seamless integration with both Electron and Tauri builds.
