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.

I like rust but want to use Qt.
Qt classic/widgets? I'm developing Kas to offer vaguely similar features (e.g. data models, theme abstraction, custom widgets with complex event handling), though said event handling and data models are quite different. It's still got a long way to go (so API is not stable), but in case you are interested, I should be dropping a new release tomorrow.

Does a wgpu text renderer exist for Android?
kas-wgpu looks hopeful, but there's very little information about it and I'm not even sure it works on Android.

KAS GUI v0.10
Changelog
-
KAS GUI v0.9
The next release will support dynamic linking which approx. halves the recompile time in my quick tests. This is based on Bevy which also recommends using LLD (see here); I didn't have much success with this yet however.

Cross platform native guis in rust
If you want a "native-like" toolkit like Qt but Rust-native, then Druid, KAS and Iced are the most advanced in my opinion (though all are incomplete).
-
KAS GUI v0.7 release
Yes. It was actually a mistake (using a nightly compiler and not realising the lock-in). But in this case (with KAS still in "earlyish development" and the workaround being less concise), I decided to leave it.

Type conversion, success expected
This is a little library I've been using recently (original version here).

Official /r/rust "Who's Hiring" thread for job-seekers and job-offerers [Rust 1.49]
Hello, I am github.com/dhardy, maintainer of rand, former dev of OpenMalaria epidemiology simulator, author of KAS GUI and Rust enthusiast since 2013. I may be interested in positions within Europe.

Does a wgpu text renderer exist for Android?
The other alternative is to go a level lower and use something like fontdue and then roll my own font rendering pipe, but that seems overkill for what seems like a simple problem.

Rust, Wright's Law, and the Future of Low-Latency Systems
I agree that no_std is incredible. I really want to see more crates embrace it and encapsulate their no_std logic away from their standard logic. I very often see crates that are like 95% of the way to no_std but then choose to bundle some standard only features without flagging them.
I wrote fontdue [0] (which is very incomplete spec wise) because there just wasn't another font library that was no_std at that time. It felt like the existing libraries were in an arms race for gpu caches and bundling file loading. Like if I wanted to commit to a running on a platform I'd do the sane thing and use harfbuzz or the platform APIs.

Like tiny-skia? As for font-specific one there are ab-glyph and fontdue.

Show HN: High-speed UTF-8 validation in Rust
I work on a SIMD optimized font library [0] and have stumbled into the same situation of hand writing SIMD intrinsics. Some things are just kinda hard to make sure they get optimized correctly, and there is enough difference between the platforms where that matters when fiddling with bits. I also kinda have fun writing SIMD code like this too.
