Electron is ram hungry. You should consider tauri github.com/tauri-apps/tauri
It uses edge view and is very light weight.
It will definitely suit your needs. Although watch out for some incompatibilities, it's still in beta.

Recently came across tauri. Definitely planning to use it soon. As compared to other UI libraries for rust, do you think tauri consumes more resources?

Definitely no. It consume less resources and its almost 1/50th of the storage space compared to electron for a hello world app. My only problem was its still in beta and I was stuck in places where I couldn't find any solution or libraries.. So i was forced back to electron.
