calligrapher-ai VS winsafe

When I write a program I usually make it focused on a single thing that it's supposed to accomplish. For example, Calligrapher AI lets you type text and then "writes" the same text in human-like handwriting while you watch, and lets you save the image. Beep Knobs is just a board with knobs (albeit a fancy one) that lets you generate customized beeps. And Genetic Origins Heatmap does just what it sounds like, produces a world map indicating where your ancestors came from (using 23andMe DNA data, for example).

Calligrapher.ai ported from JavaScript - uses Sciter

$bid, I will use this handwriting synthesizer to help recreate your logo.

I know all that shit because I'm the author of Rust's WinSafe library, which is a safer Rust layer over native Win32, so I had to deal with a lot of shit like this.

[dependencies] winsafe = { git = "https://github.com/rodrigocfd/winsafe", features = ["kernel"] }

Externally, you can write a lot of native Windows stuff in Rust already. Personally, I'm having a lot of fun with WinSafe.

If you had such problems (which I also had in the past), I'm really interested in you opinion about WinSafe, and if it could help you solving them.

If you're after a native Windows application, WinSafe may suit your needs.

As the author of WinSafe, I can say it's tedious sometimes, but it's often very challenging, because you have to translate crazy unsafe behaviors into Rust's ownership model. It's surely hard, but also very rewarding at the end.

As the author of the WinSafe lib, I wholeheartedly agree.

I don't know how rare this is (or how rare it should be), but this issue warned me about this potential problem, and I had to make a huge refactoring to treat the possibility. I had to rethink many aspects of all handle implementations. It was hard work, but in the end it was worth it.

WinSafe says hello.

WinSafe, for example (which attemps to be a safe layer over the Windows API), provides lots of RAII automations. A fine example is the BeginPaint function:
