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.

Taffy 0.3: UI layout in Rust, now with css-grid!
Yeah, that's my crate (https://github.com/nicoburns/iced_taffy). It'll be seeing more attention now that the grid work is finally released, but it'll probably require the next Taffy release in order to be releasable to crates.io.
-
Announcing concoct! A cross-platform native UI framework (formerly viewbuilder)
Yeah, that can definitely be a problem. I think Iced gets around this by type erasing children using Into and storing children in a Vec. This ends up with view definition code that is not dissimilar to Concoct. Although it a little more verbose. See for example my iced_taffy experiment: https://github.com/nicoburns/iced_taffy/blob/main/examples/nested.rs
-
What do people use for simple UI projects?
I've been working on more powerful layout (Flexbox and CSS Grid) for Iced based on Taffy. It's going to be a while until it's production ready as it has required relatively significant changes to Taffy to allow it to integrate with Iced, but if you're willing to live on the bleeding edge then there's an experimental CSS Grid widget available here: https://github.com/nicoburns/iced_taffy

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.
