fltk-accesskit: AccessKit integration for fltk
fltk-accesskit is an accesskit integration crate for fltk-rs, the gui crate. It's implemented as an external crate to allow for more experimentation before stabilizing the api, especially since fltk is at version 1.4.

Which GUI toolkit for Rust today.. few questions...
fltk-rs worked well for me, for a small app.

no good UI toolkit/framework
Gtk doesn’t require you to write xml, you can write your gui code in Rust. You also have https://github.com/fltk-rs/fltk-rs

The state of Rust GUI libraries
The fltk-rs library provides Rust bindings for the FLTK toolkit. The fltk-rs crate supports old architecture with more than 80 customizable widgets and more than four supported theme schemes, including the GTK scheme. You can also use the fltk-theme crate for more customizations.

fltk-plot - A simple, interactive 2D plotting library using fltk-rs
A friend of mine grew tired of plotting libraries that did not allow adding data points to his plot interactively like you can in Matlab, so he wrote one using FLTK using C++. I refactored his code a bit and then ported to Rust using the fltk-rs crate. Recently I needed this library for a project and I noticed I had not made it publicly available on Github. So I present to you the fltk-plot library!

What are the best GUI libraries for a potentially “serious”/large project?
Besides GTK I can recommend FLTK. It has been around for a long time and is very stable.

Cosmic Alpha Released
Based on [1] it looks like System76 does actually think about accessibility, but it's not upstreamed yet.

Cosmic: A New Desktop Environment
AFAICT the "big deal" here is using a rust-native toolkit, iced[0], rather than just slapping together another reskinned gtk-based solution like most similar submissions do.
So this is potentially a really cool thing, not just somebody tinkering with UI elements.

Building Zerocalc, part V - Iced UI, subscriptions, and code release!
In the last part of the series, we will build a simple UI for Zerocalc. We will use the Iced GUI library as it has a very nice API and very poor documentation which is a great opportunity to dig into its internals...

I am not yet ready to switch to Zig from Rust
It's not actually a limitation, the ecosystem is just young:
https://github.com/iced-rs/iced
My general point though is that there's still some ecosystem/legacy reasons to stick with C++, but Rust very much fills the same niches as C++.

Show HN: Castiron – Simple podcast player in Rust
Hi all!
Castiron is a super simple podcast player/manager I am building to learn Rust. It uses the iced [https://iced.rs/] GUI library.
Currently the feature set is pretty slim, but you can:
- Cosmic Desktop Is Slated to Debut with Pop _OS 24.04 LTS
What are some alternatives?
When comparing fltk-rs and iced you can also consider the following projects:
slint - Slint is a declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, or JavaScript apps.
egui - egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native
gtk4-rs - Rust bindings of GTK 4
gtk-rs - Rust bindings for GTK 3
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop and mobile applications with a web frontend.
