desktop/mobile app framework using web technologies
Tauri is a framework for building cross-platform desktop and mobile apps using a web frontend and a Rust backend, rendered through the system's native webview.
Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.
Choose NW.js when you need Node.js directly in the DOM and prefer bundling Chromium over using a system webview.
Call all Node.js modules directly from DOM/WebWorker and enable a new way of writing applications with all Web technologies.
An earlier or more limited way to do the job. Still the right call when you need something small, proven, or CPU-only.
Choose LiteApp if you only target mobile and prefer a webview-based cross-platform framework despite its staleness.
LiteApp is a high performance mobile cross-platform implementation, The realization of cross-platform functionality is base on webview and provides different ideas and solutions for improve webview performance.
These projects were analysed and named tauri among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how tauri rates them is a separate judgement, made when tauri is analysed in its own right.

A framework for building native applications using React
calls tauri “choose when you want a lighter-weight Rust backend and system webview instead of bundling Chromium, at the cost of different backend language and no direct Node.js integration.”
Call all Node.js modules directly from DOM/WebWorker and enable a new way of writing applications with all Web technologies.
calls tauri “Choose when you want a Rust backend and potentially smaller binaries; requires rewriting Go code as Rust.”
Create beautiful applications using Go
calls tauri “choose it if you want a Rust plus web frontend packaged in a small native shell rather than direct JS-native view programming.”
⚡ Write Native with TypeScript ✨ Best of all worlds (TypeScript, Swift, Objective C, Kotlin, Java, Dart). Use what you love ❤️ Angular, React, Solid, Svelte, Vue with: iOS (UIKit, SwiftUI), Android (View, Jetpack Compose), Flutter and you name it compatible.
