This is really exciting! I was wondering how is accessibility handled with Tauri?

a11y is all something that your framework should handle.

So accessibility tech treats these web views the same as they would any webpage?

This is not a topic we've been investigating in depth but I think so, yes!

i am looking to create a mac menubar app that uses ffmpeg.
Do we have the support yet?
if so, i would love to create something with tauri ( excited that the app size is equal to native app )

I would love to discuss more on this usecase

Amazing work Tauri team!
I think you really addressed every major request I've seen since following the project.
(menu bar, multiwindow, app, and easier Rust commands)

I remember reading the roadmap a couple of years ago and thinking, well if they pull off all that it will be brilliant.

Pleasantly surprised to see Tauri come this far so quickly (and steadily). Really impressive work, congratulations! :)

It empowers you to call into the app backend using a JS api, which gives you opt-in access to things like the filesystem

How do you add NeDB for a desktop app with Tauri? With Electron, I use IPC's channel to instruct CRUD commands to the main process.

If you have a rust interface to your NeDB, you can send a message from the WebView and CRUD to your heart's content. Otherwise, we allow you to ship sidecar binaries that you can communicate with using the RPC channels.
