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.

GUI development with Rust and GTK 4
It's a hidden gem, but gvsbuild [1] has made it easier again these days - I just discovered it ~a year ago and it's beautiful :)

Help installing on windows 10
I also use gvsbuild, because I use MS Visual Studio as my compiler. https://github.com/wingtk/gvsbuild

Connect python and C into one exe
from the GTK website: gvsbuild This method provides scripts to build the GTK stack from source and outputs libraries and tools that can be consumed by Visual Studio or Meson based projects.

Looking for this. html + css rendering through wgpu.
All of these projects have in common that they use Taffy (the project that I work on!) for box-level layout (which currently gives them block, flexbox, and grid layout) , and are either using or planning to use cosmic-text for text/inline layout. This gives you a decent first approximation of web layout, but it's not perfect and there are major features like float, display: inline-block, position: static, box-sizing: content-box missing. Not to mention that none of these implementations currently resolve CSS selectors, so you are effectively limited to inline styles (if you're interested in something in that direction then you may be interested in https://github.com/vizia/vizia).

Ebou Released 🚀: A (mostly full featured) cross platform desktop Mastodon client written in Rust + Dioxus
Vizia is basically fine-grained reactivity with an Elmish twist, though I haven't used it, so I couldn't say how well it works.

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)

Cosmic Text: Pure Rust multi-line text handling
I don't think it's actually merged into Iced yet. It is merged into https://github.com/vizia/vizia though.
