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.

Inkscape (vector graphics editor) is hiring: Accelerating the GTK4 migration
I use it from rust, it works with libadwaita. Since it's rust I just run cargo in a docker container. https://github.com/MGlolenstine/gtk4-cross
-
Can I deploy GTK applications to windows, osx and linux in a self-contained way?
(Assuming GTK4) For Windows you could try gtk4-cross. It was pretty clunky to use for Vala but since they have a Rust-specific image it should be easier for your use case

How to bundle shared libraries to distribute Rust binaries
For gtk programs I just put the dll's in the same folder as the binary and distribute it as a zip. Not the most elegant, but it works. I use this docker image to do the bundling https://github.com/MGlolenstine/gtk4-cross

One year of Relm4
If you're willing to install docker it's really easy to build and package for windows. https://github.com/MGlolenstine/gtk4-cross

Cross compiling GTK 4 to x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
I'm guessing you're not using this Docker container? → https://github.com/MGlolenstine/gtk4-cross
-
Forced static linking?
You can just bundle the required DLL's in the same directory as the executable. They don't need to install anything. You can use this docker container to handle the bundling automatically for you https://github.com/MGlolenstine/gtk4-cross
-
Yet another question for a GUI framework (slint alternative?)
With gtk4 you can just bundle the libs. You can check out https://github.com/MGlolenstine/gtk4-cross for a docker container that handles cross-compiling to windows and packaging the libs.

Is there a reliable and documented GUI library out there?
Yeah, it's actually much easier to cross compile from linux to windows. If you only have windows you can use docker desktop and this container to cross compile https://hub.docker.com/r/etrombly/rust-crosscompile . It doesn't have gtk4 support yet though, someone forked it if you need gtk4 https://github.com/MGlolenstine/gtk4-cross

Tauri CRUD Boilerplate
Hi, dear Tauri! Long time no see. I published my first post, Developing a Desktop Application via Rust and NextJS. The Tauri Way almost a year ago. Since then, Tauri has become stronger. I'm happy about that! And now, I am very pleased to make a useful contribution to the Tauri community. As a full-stack developer, I frequently face situations where I need to start a DB-based UI project as fast as possible. It's stressful if I need to start the project from 100% scratch. I prefer to keep some boilerplates on hand, which will save me time and nerves and will be the subject of this article.

Show HN: Floro – Visual Version Control for static assets and strings
Hey Thanks!
Just electron & vite. I might actually migrate off electron, Tauri (https://tauri.app/) seems to be getting more stable and it's gotten great reviews.
I think this is the boilerplate I used though https://github.com/cawa-93/vite-electron-builder.

3D and 2D: Testing out my cross-platform graphics engine
Well the great thing about WebAssembly is that you can port QT or anything else to be at a layer below -- thanks to WebAssembly Interface Types[0] and the Component Model specification that works underneath that.
To over-simplify, the Component Model manages language interop, and WIT constrains the boundaries with interfaces.
IMO the problem here is defining a 90% solution for most window, tab, button, etc management, then building embeddings in QT, Flutter/Skia, and other lower level engines. Getting a good cross-platform way of doing data passing, triggering re-renders, serializing window state is probably the meat of the interesting work.
On top of that, you really need great UX. This is normally where projects fall short -- why should I use this solution instead of something like Tauri[2] which is excellent or Electron?

Building W-9 Crafter
Tauri seemed like the "thing" I should switch to because everybody loves Rust (heh), and because it ships significantly smaller apps.

Tauri - Rust, Js and Native Apps
Today I'm talking about Tauri! Do you know all the various tools that allow you to develop native applications starting from web languages? They often need an intermediate compilation, in the middle of which you end up encountering various problems not always transparent and directly solvable with a language mostly detached from native development. On the other hand, there's still the ease of developing attractive and easily usable interfaces, which are more difficult to develop with low level languages.
