Is that Tauri, running a Roda app locally as a desktop app without exposing it to TCP?
Almost! It's my experimental Ruby port of Tauri... Tokra!
Write desktop software in Ruby, with an HTML and CSS interface. You can use JS frameworks, too. Plus: it's Rack-compatible!
Rubygem: https://rubygems.org/gems/tokra
Code: https://git.sr.ht/~kerrick/tokra/tree/stable/item/examples/verify_ping_pong/app.rb
