Additional context
Not really, just maybe a cli that can convert electron apps into tauri code, would be useful for projects like VSCode, as it takes up quite a bit of memory and tauri could massively reduce that, but the devs over at VScode wouldn't be in the mood for rewriting everything again (I imagine

A program that automatically converts an app would be extremely difficult, as the main process code would have to be converted from JS to Rust (at least until Tauri gets support for JS via Deno). However, we are planning on creating some tools to make the transition process easier. These will likely come after beta/stable, as they aren't of high priority yet.

Now some time has passed, what such tools do you envision creating (or that the community could create)?

Due to the security issues of electron, I transformed an electron project to tauri project. The biggest problem during this process is that the fs api is incompatible, and many sync api calls need to be changed to async. I spent a lot of time on refactoring it.

Fully automated doesn't sound feasible, but there are some aspects that could be partially automated:

• Bundling a Node runtime as a Tauri sidecar that can run the electron equivalent of the main process - relaying serialized events through the Rust binary. It would add 10s of MB to the app size. A naive implementation would likely create quite a bit of attack surface.
• Creating some form of electron-to-tauri adapter library for the electron-specific APIs. Many Electron features are not yet available in Tauri though.

Is there some guiding documentation on how Electron apps should be ported to Tauri?
