Reading the “How Does it Work?” section of the readme, I interpret it as WebUI being a way of embedding a web view into your existing program, being a sort of proxy for the existing browser of the system.

Don't frameworks like Electron (and Tauri) already allow us to do this today?

I couldn't tell from their docs what makes their project unique compared to these existing and more popular solutions.

Electron bundles a full installation of Chrome into every application.

WebUI uses whatever browser (or browser component) is already present on your system.

That's a big difference!
