Tauri by Simon
It’s pretty obvious that this project is gonna be one of the sample projects, and it’s a good project setup for any sort of documentation type project. I recommend any serious project to have a project similar to this one, not all see the full benefits of going the extra mile of having a developer handbook or api reference presented like this, but those projects are also the ones that tend to suffer the most from the key man principle.
The site is hosted (for free) on GitHub Pages. In order to get the domain name right I verified my top domain hyll.nu to my user account. In the tauri-by-simon repo I set up in the pages settings my custom domain. I had to delete it twice and set it up in order for everything to get registered correctly everywhere in GitHub’s backend. I made a CNAME entry pointing to simonhyll.github.io for tauri.by.simon.hyll.nu with a TTL of 3600.
Using conditional compilation I can ensure that the web version and the Tauri app version is built slightly differently, including differing features based on the capabilities available on either platform.
The app was sort of an afterthought in this case but it made a lot of sense to add it. I keep having issues giving people proper examples of how to do things because most of my projects get scrapped after a while, so there’s not that much code to be found after a while. With a project like this I can actually start collecting snippets of code to share with people, and powered by a Tauri app that means I can also actually show off features and point to the repository when people wonder how I did something. Neat huh?
