Porting Electron app to Tauri using Cursor

I liked the speed

Six years ago I have written a small Windows application using Electron to talk to Biometric device using its API. I lost its code but only have its output file.

I want to implement more features to it. Like syncing back the events from Biometric for attendance logs.

I then used Tauri. It was little difficult in the beginning to setup. But I figured out like usual by getting my hands and browser tabs dirty.

I want to port all the existing electron features into the Tauri application. Since the application is very small and very consistent with the structure. I used Cursor editor to do the porting.

I opened Tauri application and exported two files from Electron. I asked it to merge electron features into Tauri by keeping the new structure.

I did most of the porting. Like 95%. I had to tweak few bits and pieces.

This is a backlog for many years. Finally now. Thanks to Cursor here.
