femtovg VS Slint

The problem with femtovg currently is, that it's based on OpenGL. There is a fork for wgpu already, but it's not up to date with master and I'm not sure how difficult merging will be.

You guys should also check out the femtovg project, a 2D rendering API that sixty fps relies on.

https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg

It's a decent starting point for trying to build your own toolkit.

I have recently added a wgpu backend but for now it lives in my fork https://github.com/adamnemecek/femtovg

run the demo with `cargo run --example wgpu_demo --release`.

It's not a GUI framework but I'm involved with this project called femtovg, it's a Rust nanovg port. I've recently added a wgpu backend. Run the demo with cargo run --example wgpu_demo --release. Some people have been using it for their own UIs, e.g. tuix. I think that you should consider rolling your own GUI toolkit, it's not that bad and you'll appreciate the control.

I have been recently rolling my own Rust GUI framework using this rendering crate I’m invovled with https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg and I’m pretty happy with it.

I recently added a wgpu backend https://github.com/adamnemecek/femtovg.

Combine that with the Flutter layout (check out the Druid implementation), and you have a GUI framework.

I added a wgpu backend not too long ago, it’s in my fork for now femtovg.

SixtyFPS is a project started by Simon Hausmann and Olivier Goffart who previously worked on Qt at Trolltech.

SixtyFPS is the first project with a company behind it which uses femtovg, a Rust nanovg port. https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg.

Recently, we've added an experimental wgpu backend which is for now in my fork of the project https://github.com/adamnemecek/femtovg

As an anecdote, the three top contributors to sixtyfps are ex-Qt people. I think it is not anecdotal that there is at least some degree of overlap and competition between Rust and C++, and that this is a market that surely The Qt Company is watching.

SixtyFPS (https://sixtyfps.io/) is in progress for Rust, but it is still early days. It also does not technically use a native toolkit (it uses Qt), but I believe that might be on roadmap. For traditional GUI apps, I think the lack of a table or tree widget is the most limiting for the time being. They have stated they intend to remedy that.

The most promising GUI hasn't been posted here, SixtyFPS. It's in it's early stages and not FOSS, but it's built by some ex-QT cats and has a lot of potential.

People have been recommending https://sixtyfps.io/ to me.

There is already a project to make a Qt like GUI toolkit in Rust: https://sixtyfps.io/ It is really similar to Qt https://sixtyfps.io/releases/0.1.5/docs/rust/sixtyfps/index.html

People are doing that too. https://sixtyfps.io/ is basically a Qt clone in Rust, actually developed by previous Qt developers.

spdlog, a pretty useful and more and more commonly used logging library for C++.\ SixtyFPS, an emerging GUI library for Rust, but you can use it in multiple languages. It uses OpenGL or Qt currently as backend (well, it's a new library and they wanted two from the get-go to make sure their abstractions are done right/well enough). They started a company this year for it too.

Just so some are not aware, there's a new project called sixtyfps by some people who were in the Qt world for long. I didn't take a deep dive into it but it looks promising.
