freya VS iced

Awesome, when it's properly release I'll give it a try with freya (https://github.com/marc2332/freya, a skia-based renderer for Dioxus I am making)

Or if you don't care about web compatibility, you can use Dioxus' state management with Freya which is more complete and renderers natively with Skia

There are a number of up-and-coming Rust-based frameworks in this niche:

- https://github.com/iced-rs/iced (probably the most usable today)

- https://github.com/vizia/vizia

- https://github.com/marc2332/freya

- https://github.com/linebender/xilem (currently very incomplete but exciting because it's from a team with a strong track record)

What is also exciting to me is that the Rust GUI ecosystem is in many cases building itself up with modular libraries. So while we have umpteen competing frameworks they are to a large degree all building and collaborating on the same foundations. For example, we have:

- https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit (cross-platform window creation)

- https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu (abstraction on top of vulkan/metal/dx12)

- https://github.com/linebender/vello (a canvas like imperative drawing API on top of wgpu)

- https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy (UI layout algorithms)

- https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text (text rendering and editing)

- https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit (cross-platform accessibility APIs)

In many cases there a see https://blessed.rs/crates#section-graphics-subsection-gui for a more complete list of frameworks and foundational libraries)

https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus (which has native rendering in the form of https://github.com/marc2332/freya)

There hasn't been too much progress on Blitz in the last few weeks (it will come), but there is now a new project Freya which is using a Dioxus frontend and rendering with Skia. That's currently using it's own layout system instead of Taffy though.

Freya

A native GUI library https://github.com/marc2332/freya

Since you’re working with Taffy and Skia, have you checked out Freya? There’s more room for innovation in the more tightly scoped niches of this kind.

Marc has also made some really good progress on a skia renderer but I don't think it is ready for production yet.

I am building an app using Iced that takes hashes of the files in a directory and assigns them to a profile. The problem is that I can't get the progress bar to update in real time. I've been checking out examples like this https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/tree/master/examples/download_progress. But I just can't get the progress bar to move. Is anyone available to take a look at my code and maybe show me a fix (as long as you're okay with MIT licensing your changes)?

What about Yew and Iced?

Working on Halloy - an IRC chat client for Mac, Windows and Linux. Written with Iced as GUI framework.

It’s a pretty new feature we merged 2 months ago: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/pull/1856

Holy shit this GUI framework looks good. I am a Qt fanboi, but this looks great. Normally, I skip all the "X for Rust" posts as a bunch of fanaticism. Could it really be different this time???

The feature list is really impressive: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced

Plus, here is the road map with many things already done: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/blob/master/ROADMAP.md

Wow, wow, wow: Keep up the great work.

One of the rendering engines is Skia by Google. This library is sneaking up fast on us...
