Some questions

Nice. However, I am not quite sure how to compile and also run your demo. Clearly I need to read more about Tauri but it would help if your docs include that information (the Tauri docs seem to also hide this info someplace).

Also, cargo install tauri-cli --version ^1.0.0-beta is failing with the docker rust:1.58.1 image as a remote development environment resulting in the following messages (What version is compatible?):

   Compiling handlebars v4.2.1
   Compiling json-patch v0.2.6
   Compiling tauri-bundler v1.0.0-beta.4
   Compiling tauri-cli v1.0.0-beta.7

I believe this is the same error you're dealing with. Linking the comment explaining what is causing it and the resolution is in the thread.

Always check the official docs for how to install the Tauri CLI: https://tauri.studio/docs/getting-started/beginning-tutorial#alternatively-install-tauri-cli-as-a-cargo-subcommand

I've updated the dev.to article as well

Currently it looks like this:

cargo install tauri-cli --locked --version ^1.0.0-rc
