fltk-rs VS slint

I have added a tile example to the repo, it's based on the FLTK example.

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.

fltk-rs worked well for me, for a small app.

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

Currently, I have narrowed potential libraries to: 1. Flutter 2. FLTK 3. Relm (GTK) 4. iced 5. Slint 6. Imgui, Imgui-rs 7. and gtk-rs

FLTK

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.

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!

fltk-rs is a Rust bindings crate for FLTK, the cross-platfrom & lightweight gui library.

Besides GTK I can recommend FLTK. It has been around for a long time and is very stable.

Did you get a chance to check https://slint.dev?

Disclaimer: I work for Slint

Currently, we do it by using binaries through napi-rs so we can bring in a window using the platform native API. And then we do some hack to merge the event loops.

But if Deno supports bringing up a window directly, this means we can just ship wasm instead of native binary for all platform. And also I hope event loop integration will be simplified.

Although we'd also need more API than just showing a window (mouse and keyboard input, accessibility, popup window, system tray, ...)

Thanks for reporting the broken link. Fixed in https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/commit/9200480b532f49007d2...

With Slint (https://slint.dev) we're trying to make a lightweight toolkit that doesn't use HTML/CSS. And that you can program either from low level languages such as C++ or Rust. As well as with higher level language such as JavaScript, and we want to extend to python too.

I haven't. I was just searching for a GUI library that was Bevy-compatible and slint isn't at the moment: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/discussions/940

Sorry!

Trying to do that with Slint: https://slint.dev

You can do that with Slint (https://slint.dev) and its linuxkms backend. No need for a xorg server or wayland compositor, just run the application made with Slint from the init script.
