Rust for the core, all the logic, all the commands. Tauri strictly as a dumb UI with no logic.
Why Rust: I love Rust, always have. In my opinion, security-relevant software belongs in Rust. It rules out entire classes of bugs up front, because otherwise the code won't even compile. That doesn't mean you can't make mistakes. But where many people make mistakes in C++/C#, a lot of that is simply ruled out in Rust. Rust is compact and logical.
Unlike Electron, BlindLock doesn't ship a Chrome browser inside the program. Only the Rust part and Tauri. That's why the installers are very small.
Updates matter a lot to me. I regularly ship improvements and stabilizations. Software like this lives on constant observation, extension, and improvement. After 7 days offline you need to go online once, for the license check and above all for the update check.
Licenses
Licenses can be moved from computer A to computer B at any time. Lifetime licenses don't die when a computer dies! The same will of course apply to subscriptions later.
WalletLink
Once WalletLink is active, the Net-Helper can optionally check blockchain activity, exclusively against publicly verifiable, freely accessible, and trustworthy sources. Even then BlindLock sends nothing out and stores no values. It only mirrors the values from the hardware wallet. Transactions are neither confirmed nor received in BlindLock. All of that happens exclusively on the hardware wallet.
