Blitz Alternatives

blitz reviews and mentions

• Lexbor – an open source HTML Renderer library
  6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Jun 2024

  We have a decent chunk of layout and paint implemented in https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz, which is targeting the "electron" use case (but with a rust scripting interface rather than a JS one).

  The implementation is currently very immature and there are a lot of bugs and missing features (I only got a first cut of inline layout working yesterday (but we already have flexbox and grid implemented)), but we're already seeing pretty decent results on a bunch of real-world web pages and hope to be at the point where we can render most of the web (excl. JS) in the next 6 - 12 months.

  There are some screenshots on the PR for the inline layout branch https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz/pull/63

  Have you talked to the Dioxus people recently?

  They're working on a project called Dioxus Blitz; from what I'm told, they're trying to implement a minimal browser target, that provides some basic DOM-like features and renders with wgpu.

  It's not exactly what you're hoping for, but you might find common ground.

  (Also, the Linebender project is working on Masonry, with FFI as a medium-term goal.)

• If the native speed DOM/Web API for Rust becomes a reality, would you be willing to build your web apps with Rust and HTML/CSS?

  Your proposal sounds very similar to what the Dioxus folks are doing on Blitz, which is using HTML/CSS as the languages but doing native rendering. WebF seems much further along, and I know they've been exploring other rendering engines, so it may be an interesting conversation for you to have with them.

• Looking for this. html + css rendering through wgpu.

  Others have already mentioned inlyne and blitz, however given that you're interested in combining web UI with game/wgpu rendering you may be more interested in bevy_ui (and the higher level APIs like bevy_ui_dsl and belly that sit on top of this). Bevy UI is working on a HTML model and is specifically designed to integrate with Bevy's main game renderer and other infrastructure. It's worth noting that a 0.11 release of Bevy of due in next few days, and that UI is going to be a strong focus of the 0.12 release cycle: which should lead to significant development of bevy_ui, and either a doubling down on the "HTML-like UI" approach or a pivot to a new approach.

  > But no one is saying, "Hey I have a CSS 2.1 compliant rasterizer and compositor that you can use in your C++ or Rust environment!" are they?

  There’s actually quite a lot of interesting work going on in that general space, has been in various forms for some years. A couple that immediately spring to mind:

  • Azul <https://azul.rs/> builds on WebRender, as used in Firefox. I haven’t looked at it for a few years, but it looks to have grown quite interesting now.

  • Blitz <https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz> is based on from-scratch implementations of CSS layout and rendering, and wgpu rendering. It’s not usable yet, but is a very interesting concept. If one happens to be familiar with React Native: it’s kinda like that, or React Native Web.

• [Media] Version 0.3 of Inlyne - An interactive markdown renderer written entirely in Rust
  7 projects | /r/rust | 7 May 2023

  You may also be interested in https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz which aims to be a full HTML+CSS renderer on top of wgpu (but is currently not nearly as complete as inlyne).

• What is the most fully-featured rust frontend framework?
  5 projects | /r/rust | 24 Apr 2023

  If you are focused on performance we are working on a native renderer for Dioxus called Blitz. It is very incomplete right now, but in the future it will be much more performant than the current webview based approach.

• Taffy 0.3: UI layout in Rust, now with css-grid!
  10 projects | /r/rust | 12 Feb 2023

  There hasn't been too much progress on Blitz in the last few weeks (it will come), but there is now a new project Freya which is using a Dioxus frontend and rendering with Skia. That's currently using it's own layout system instead of Taffy though.
