+## msger vs msgview
+
+This package is the **Rust/wry-based** implementation. There's also **[@bobfrankston/msgview](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bobfrankston/msgview)** - an Electron-based alternative with the same API.
+
+| Aspect | msger (this) | msgview |
+|--------|--------------|---------|
+| **Startup** | ~50-200ms | ~2-3 seconds |
+| **Size** | ~5-10MB | ~200MB |
+| **Technology** | Rust + wry (WebView2/webkit2gtk) | Electron |
+| **Pi/Linux** | ❌ Rendering issues | ✅ Perfect |
+| **Windows/WSL** | ✅ Works | ✅ Works |
+
+### When to use msger (this package)
+- Speed is critical (CLI tools, automation)
+- Small binary size matters
+- Windows or WSL environment
+
+### When to use msgview
+- Running on Raspberry Pi or Linux
+- Need reliable cross-platform rendering
+- Prefer Electron ecosystem
+
+### Planned: msgapi
+Both packages will share a common JavaScript API (`window.msgapi`) for file system access, window manipulation, and bidirectional communication. See [TODO.md](TODO.md) for details.
+
+For the complete feature comparison and roadmap, see the [shared TODO.md](../msgview/TODO.md) which tracks both projects.
