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.

Ode to the M1
> I hope Electron/CEF die soon, and people get back to building applications that don't consume hundreds of megabytes of RAM to render a hello world.
Web technologies are fine, but what we really need is some kind of lightweight browser which allows you to use HTML/CSS/JS, but with far lower memory usage. I found https://ultralig.ht/ which seems to be exactly what I am looking for, but the license is a major turn off for most paid services. It makes sense for smaller, indie projects to adopt it, but I haven't seen many "desktop apps" using this in the wild.
What I'd really like to see with CEF et al, is JS being dropped, in favor of directly controlling the DOM from the host language. Then we could, for example, write a Rust (or Kotlin, Zig, Haskell, etc) desktop application that simply directly manipulated the DOM, and had it rendered by a HTML+CSS layout engine. Folks could then write a React-like framework for that language (to help render & re-render the DOM in an elegant way).
Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/) looks pretty cool. I think another possible option is Servo (https://github.com/servo/servo) – it was abandoned by Mozilla along with Rust during their layoffs a while back (but the project still seems to have a decent bit of activity). It would be great if some group of devs could revive the project, or a company could fund such a revival.
Eventually, we'll need to reflect on, and explore whether HTML+CSS is really the best way to do layout, and we could maybe perhaps consider proting the Android/iOS layout approach over to desktop.

Remember when this was 0% and 70 mb? This is comical.

Digital Audio Workstation Front End Development Struggles
I agree web stuff is really the best way to develop UIs. Good luck making responsive stuff in C++ for example. The paradigm of HTML, CSS, and JS is extremely powerful and even allows you to use canvas, webgpu, wasm.
There are multiple commercial projects that use web dev paradigm for GUIs:

what do you think about alternative browser engines?
Nice review, thanks! There are also: Ultralight (based on Webkit), LiteHTML, Tkhtml3 and Lobo Evolution. See also timeline of web engines.

Recommendations for JS Engines that could be embedded in my Game Engine
I have used https://ultralig.ht/, which uses web tech stack to render ui for desktop applications. It can be used in video games, so I assume the js engine has acceptable performance. It is based on webkit though.

core-js maintainer: “So, what’s next?”
The more he mentions examples of huge websites using corejs the more it makes sense to me for corejs to have a license model similar to Ultralight, wherein you pay the software if your company crosses a certain revenue threshold.

Ultron - a WIP web base editor with themes and syntax highlighting
This project started as a way to test out sauron web framework, but it turns out to be usable and can be embedded in a web applications such as markdown source code renderer.

[ANN] Sauron - a frontend + SSR web framework, v0.50.0 brings initial support for writing WebComponents and huge improvement on the diffing algorithm
This was a fixed to an issue, but I ended up formulating a new diffing algorithm which solves all of the corner cases.
- Anyone here who loves elm and also want try rust. I ported with my best effort elm to rust and I think I made a pretty good job with it. I would be very interested in a feedback from an elm programmer perspective.

Rust Framework like React or Angular?
Try sauron, no ceremonial code, straight to the point, clean and concise with lots of examples

[ANN]: Sauron 0.49 is the most stable release of sauron web framework yet
There is a code example here that allows you to use custom elements with sauron, maybe it's a good starting point for a working web component.
Under the hood, sauron uses mt-dom crate. The diffing algorithm in mt-dom has been extensively overhauled to work on all edge-case while allowing a much faster traversal for the generated patches.
