alchemy
An experimental GUI framework for Rust, backed by per-platform native widgets. React, AppKit/UIKit inspired. EXPERIMENTAL, runs on Cocoa right now. ;P (by ryanmcgrath)

GitHub - ryanmcgrath/cacao: Rust bindings for AppKit (macOS) and UIKit (iOS/tvOS). Experimental, but working!
1) This was started years ago back when SwiftUI had, frankly, a mountain of problems. I originally did the seeds of this work when building out Alchemy, a React clone for cross-platform apps in Rust. I sunset that project due to personal issues in my life at the time (relative dying) which had destroyed my motivation/time. I ultimately chose to extract the codebase and make cacao since it filled a necessary niche in the ecosystem.

Proof of concept: iOS app written in pure Rust
Ah, yes - though I think we're still ultimately after the same thing. Cacao, while it tries to unify AppKit/UIKit APIs, more or less treats UIKit APIs as the "blessed" ones. A good example is the ListView component, which pretty much limits an NSTableView to the style and such that you'd find over on UITableView. cacao just has more working AppKit code due to it being originally the basis for alchemy.

What’s everyone working on this week (16/2021)?
Oh cool! Glad to hear it - I experimented with VDOM stuff long ago back in alchemy and considered returning to it at some point, but if someone else does it... well, it'd be hella cool.

What’s everyone working on this week (16/2021)?
A program for using a laptop/tablet as a second display for a linux computer (like Apple's Sidecar). The display laptop can be any OS, the control laptop that the display is attached to must be linux.
What are some alternatives?
