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.

Ebou Released 🚀: A (mostly full featured) cross platform desktop Mastodon client written in Rust + Dioxus
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)
- GUI development with Rust and GTK 4
-
What is the most fully-featured rust frontend framework?
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

XUL Layout has been removed from Firefox
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)

Declarative UI Programming in Rust for Native Applications
https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus (which has native rendering in the form of https://github.com/marc2332/freya)

Taffy 0.3: UI layout in Rust, now with css-grid!
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.

What's everyone working on this week (6/2023)?
A native GUI library https://github.com/marc2332/freya
-
Looking for feedback on the next version of viewbuilder! The UI framework with a new a compose-like API
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.

Making Dioxus (almost) as fast as SolidJS
Marc has also made some really good progress on a skia renderer but I don't think it is ready for production yet.

GPU Compute in the Browser at the Speed of Native: WebGPU Marching Cubes
Oh look it's subgroup support landing last week: https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/5301
- 3D and 2D: Testing out my cross-platform graphics engine
- Warp Terminal is now available for Linux
- Linux version of Warp terminal is here

Building the DirectX shader compiler better than Microsoft?
And wgpu has been doing this for years. Things like descriptor indexing are not exposed to the web but used by Rust (mostly) engines on native.

New Renderers for GTK
If they used https://wgpu.rs/ they would get directx and metal for free (:

Show HN: WebGPU Particles Simulation
IIRC it was delayed multiple times. I think the first intent to ship from chrome was before 100 but they kept pushing it off. Firefox still does not support it. There are projects like wgpu[0] that wrap provide a higher level API and I have used some projects using it with no issues. WFIW I didn't see any issue with OP's demo either.

wgpu, the Rust WebGPU implementation is the bee's knees. https://wgpu.rs/ You can use it beyond the web.

There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig?
There is anything like wgpu.rs for Zig? wgpu.rs is an abstraction on top of Vulkan, Metal, DirectX, etc...
