I Rewrote My Electron App in Tauri — and Claude Did 100% of the Work in Under 24 Hours 🚀

Description and use

The author rewrote an Electron app into Tauri in under 24 hours using Claude AI, without writing any Rust code.

Problem

Rewriting a complex Electron application (google-chat-electron) into a more efficient, lightweight Tauri version without writing Rust code.

Outcome

The author successfully rewrote a complex Electron application into Tauri using AI-generated code, achieving the rewrite in under 24 hours without any Rust knowledge.

Workflow

• 1. Built the original Electron app manually over months.
• 2. Decided to rewrite it in Tauri for better performance.
• 3. Used Claude AI to generate all Rust and Tauri code.
• 4. Completed the rewrite in less than 24 hours without writing code.
• 5. Tested the new Tauri app for functionality and performance.

Evidence

I rebuilt the whole thing as google-chat-tauri in less than 24 hours — and I did not write the code. Claude did.
