Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

I'm actually working on this as a side project (here).

Rust GUI framework
I personally settled on Flutter. It's a modern declarative UI framework by Google that was designed for mobile apps, but it can also do desktop and web these days. It can be used as a library using its embedder API that can render to Vulkan, Metal and OpenGL. So, it can be embedded in a wgpu context (here's my prototype for that based on wgpu/Vulkan and winit). Flutter uses Dart for UI programming, which is fine for me, since a lot of iteration is necessary for that, and Flutter allows Dart code to be hot reloaded during development (so you just have to save your file and the running application is updated automatically, keeping all of its state intact). Rust wouldn't be able to do that at the moment. Web support is trivial, because Flutter Web allows integrating HTML elements between its UI layers. I can simply insert a canvas there and link that to wgpu.

Here's the repository.

Will Impeller fix performance in Platform views on iOS?
I've started writing my own Flutter shell here that runs on all desktop and mobile systems Flutter supports without any platform-specific code paths. The trick is that I'm delegating the responsibility for platform-specific code to a generic library (winit in this case) and so keep it out of my codebase.

Why Flutter on the Desktop Can’t Survive Without Rust
I've started a project for using Rust for a shell using the Flutter Engine's embedder interface, so it’s trivial to integrate Rust into the system. It’s available here.

How can transfer a framebuffer that the Vulkan application draws to Electron application?
What I'm currently looking into is using Flutter for UI drawing instead of web tech. It has a built-in compositing API that allows interleaving native drawing with its surfaces and has a Vulkan renderer. The only downside is that you have to write a shell for it that maps the native platform to its APIs, which is very underdocumented and needs a lot of code, for example for handling keyboard input. Here's my progress so far. It comes with shells for all of its supported platforms, but they all use OpenGL or Metal (for iOS/macOS).

Use Rust (WASM) on web, besides phones & desktops, empowering productivity, reliability and performance
I need to check out how well this combines with my Rust-based Flutter shell.

Choosing a tech stack for a cross-platform WGPU-based app
I personally spent a significant part of my spare time in the last few months researching this topic, and came to the conclusion that for my (very similar) project, I'd like to use Flutter and Dart for the UI and Rust with wgpu (maybe bevy) for the rendering backend. I'm working on an integration for native platforms (so everything except web) right now, it's available in earliest alpha here. Web itself is trivial, because you can simply mount a separate canvas as a platformview and use that for wgpu, completely separating the two worlds.
-
winit loop gets stuck because of block_on, any help?
Unfortunately, I'm really busy these days so I don't have any time for any more projects. I'm currently working on this project, which allows using the UI framework Flutter together with wgpu, so I'd say that it's adjacent to your project.

flutter_rust_bridge VS rinf - a user suggested alternative

plugin system for a flutter app
Use some sort of executable file, like webassembly. I've seen extism which is really cool. Though theres no dart port for it or a dart package, i think something could be done via flutter_rust_brige. This will allow people to use the languages supported via extism (js, go, rust, zig, cpp etc) to their full potential and have the language's ecosystem available and they can just compile the plugin to a wasm file and use it in the app. Downsides would be ig using that rust package in dart since flutter_rust_bridge does have some amount of complexity. And that for example, two plugins both written in say for example js, depend on some sort of http package, and both plugins load the same package twice in their respective wasm files. ig plugin files would be more larger in the end.

Show HN: Slint - A Declarative UI Toolkit Written in Rust for Embedded & Desktop
Not a Flutter Dev, but have you tried 'flutter_rust_bridge' [0]. Seems provide some interop between flutter and rust and looks like a popular and active project. I'm native mobile dev and just curious about this kind of interop myself. If it's seamless then looks like good balance to do mobile front-end in flutter and mobile backend in rust.

`flutter-rust-app-template`: This template provides instant capabilities to developers who want to embrace the power of Rust and Flutter together.
This template is primarily built using the flutter_rust_bridge library. It also incorporates several popular packages and modifications into the default Flutter template, ensuring optimal development process. It has been designed with future scalability and performance in mind.

Anybody doing multithreading wasm controlled by rust?
If you want example code, the flutter_rust_bridge uses a webworker pool with shared memory on the web to multithread the execution.

I need a GUI framework that can do the following!
There's also the thing that flutter_rust_bridge is currently broken for web development. I have a PR open, but it's running into weird issues with the CI and so can't be merged.

Is it possible to build a gui which is both cross compatible and native?
For reference, https://github.com/fzyzcjy/flutter_rust_bridge. And dart is a really nice language too, my only real gripe is that I'm no longer used to [type] [variable] over [variable]: [type]
