Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A Proposal for an asynchronous Rust GUI framework
They are both async and made for GUI -- in case of rust-signals WebGUI, provided by dominator and MoonZoon.

Fullstack Framework: MoonZoon, Leptos

Pick a Front End Web Framework
Dominator is more of a low-level framework for manipulating the DOM. There's also MoonZoon (https://github.com/MoonZoon/MoonZoon) which uses dominator but provides a more complete experience.

Dioxus vs Egui vs Iced vs Tauri+Yew?
Alternative 2)thin client in browser and server in rust. If you really want to limit it to web client and web server, possibly try a newer approach with moonzoon. https://github.com/MoonZoon/MoonZoon/tree/main/examples/todomvc

They interviewed the founder of a full-stack Rust framework called "MoonZoon" in this newsletter. Has anyone here used MoonZoon before?
I don't really know Rust so clearly I'm not the target audience, but this thing where you define all the styles using chains of methods seems kinda clumsy to me. And if it's all turning into CSS in the end you presumably still need to understand CSS concepts in order to make the layout you want using this syntax. So I'm not sure this is really saving you from learning HTML and CSS. That said it does appear to be compiling your Rust to web assembly (like Blazor does) which is pretty cool.

Serving a frontend with a Rust Web framework
I've come across MoonZoon (https://github.com/MoonZoon/MoonZoon) which seems like an interesting full stack framework, but I'm wondering about a solution that would allow choosing both frontend and backend frameworks.

Front-end Rust framework performance prognosis
There’s also https://github.com/MoonZoon/MoonZoon which is built on dominator. It’s in fairly early stage development but offers a higher level interface than dominator.

Why Rust?
You shouldn’t ever need to deal with OsString itself on wasm32-unknown-unknown, since that target basically just doesn’t cover functionality that needs it, but the actual situation is genuinely worse than OsString: Rust insists on valid Unicode (as is right and proper), but the web suffers from the affliction of ill-formed UTF-16. If you blindly convert from JavaScript strings to Rust strings, you will encounter data and functionality loss in a few situations, in practice always involving IME (or similar) text entry on Windows. The first bug I filed about this: https://github.com/Pauan/rust-dominator/issues/10, and you can follow further links if you’re interested. IE and Edge used to be largely immune to this, but IE is dead and I suppose Edge will have regressed in this way with the Chromium migration, since the bug filed in Chromium a few years ago <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=949056> has languished. (Firefox too, with <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1541349>.) In the worst-case scenario, careless use like was the case in rust-dominator will mean that some users typing with particular software in a language that’s outside the Basic Multilingual Plane will not be able to type anything.

Xilem: an architecture for UI in Rust
One comparison I'm missing , which I think provides quite a nice solution in Rust, is the signals based approach popularized by Solid JS and implemented in Rust by sycamore and earlier by dominator.

So Long Surrogates: How We Moved to UTF-8 in Haskell
Missing support for characters beyond U+FFFF is the main problem caused by surrogates (their existence, even if indirect)—it normally comes of some kind of UCS-2/UTF-16 confusion. It’s not fair to disqualify them. The only (class of) case that I’m aware of for a long time where it’s not linked to that is with MySQL’s idiotic utf8 → utf8mb3 type.
You may not have encountered such bugs, but I’m very familiar with surrogate-related bugs, because I use a Compose key extensively. I haven’t been using Windows for the last year, but from time to time I would definitely encounter bugs that are certainly due to surrogates. On the web, I found bugs a few times, all but once in Rust WebAssembly things, such as https://github.com/Pauan/rust-dominator/issues/10. And even now I’m back on Linux, I know of one almost certainly surrogate-related bug: I can’t type astral plane characters in Zoom at all; pretty sure I had this problem back on Windows, too. Copy and paste, sure, but type, no, they become REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.
The history is unfortunate but I strongly refute that they had not much choice. UCS-2 should have been abandoned as a failed experiment. Certainly there had been significant investment into it in the last few years, but with the benefit of hindsight, switching to UTF-8 (which was invented before they decided on surrogates) would have made everyone’s life much easier, especially given its ASCII-compatibility.
Ah, BOM characters. Haven’t seen one in years. Good riddance.

A Rust server / frontend setup like it's 2022 (with axum and yew)
I really don't understand why everyone jumps to Yew when it comes to front-end development. Dominator is a far cleaner and more Rust-orientated approach to building front-end apps. I have worked with both and I feel that Yew adds a lot complexity/forces a lot of design philosophies but gives very little back in terms of advantages.

Announcing Silkenweb v0.2.0: A crate for building web apps using WebAssembly
Hi, I've just released a major new version of Silkenweb. It's a signals based web framework like Dominator or Sycamore, but with the emphasis on plain rust syntax rather than a macro DSL.

Front-end Rust framework performance prognosis
Check out the alternatives without vdom, especially Dominator https://github.com/Pauan/rust-dominator. It’s faster than nearly all JS frameworks. The underlying rust-signals it’s based on is a fantastic crate. Unfortunately it’s not very well documented (check the prs for some wip docs). I got a frontend up and going with reactivity and nice styles using trunk and tailwindcss with daisyUI very quickly.
