Tauri + Huggingface/Candle setup - minimal example

[do-me]

I guess more folks here are developing apps that involve using models from Huggingface so it would be awesome to have some boilerplate code how to set it up with some example models.

It seems as if https://github.com/huggingface/candle was the best way to go. I tried to create a minimal app where I simply request an embedding from the frontend but didn't manage to set everything up properly yet. I'm new to Rust and tauri so it's quite a steep learning curve.

Did anyone already create something like this?

I found e.g. https://github.com/spyglass-search/spyglass, a full-blown search app that uses candle under the hood.
