Good point about explaining Tauri better! For context: Tauri = Rust + Web frontend (like Electron but smaller/faster) Problem: Desktop apps need camera access, but web APIs are limited CrabCamera: Provides native camera control for Tauri desktop apps Real example: Our Budsy plant identification app uses CrabCamera to capture photos for botanical analysis - something web camera APIs can't do effectively. Thanks for the feedback on clarity!

It's an alternative to Electron and Capacitor[1] now. So turning a web app into a more "native" application for both mobile and desktop systems.

The only thing that makes it more native than electron is that it uses the system's webview, instead of shipping an entire Chrome/CEF. You write Rust for Tauri's backend, which is nice.
