zbus 2.0 (Super easy! Barely an inconvenience) is out!
For reference, the client code can be found at https://github.com/bilelmoussaoui/ashpd & the server one at https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Rust/search-provider. When we ported the later from dbus-rs lately, we noticed it is way faster (with a debug build!) then a similar code with dbus-rs

Rust DBus service with state managed by async code advice?
From what I gather, zbus seems to be by far the best at the moment, it is what it is used by https://github.com/bilelmoussaoui/ashpd for example.

Whats the best native file picker?
So currently I'm using rfd which works perfectly on linux. But it seems to not work on windows, and i know of the the single thread issue on macos.

I also like to think about this particular code as a "block". The block has to open a file and call self.reset(&code). Therefore, I don't have a particular commit with an issue, the code itself (which I basically copied from the rfd example has the issue...

Cargo features have to be additive
As an example, there are quite a bit of crates out there with multiple implementations of a common API that are mutually exclusive and the crates do not support picking the implementation in runtime. For example: https://github.com/PolyMeilex/rfd/issues/49

ASHPD 0.2 release, a XDG DBus portals wrapper in Rust
I used this to contribute a backend for rfd so you can have cross platform native file dialogs without depending on GTK on Linux.

zbus 2.0 (Super easy! Barely an inconvenience) is out!
I haven't yet used the dbus crate but I was thinking of doing so soon for https://github.com/PolyMeilex/rfd/issues/36. Could you elaborate what bothered you about the dbus crate and why you think zbus is nicer to use?
