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.

Writing a Wayland compositor is MUCH harder than it should be
You might be interested in the KWinFT project I started few years ago which aims at providing such high-level libraries in the long run.
- Not sure which WM to pick

Batman arkham city doesn't like wayland
They have It's much much better
- Valve does what FromSoftware don’t, thanks to Steam Deck’s shader precaching update
- Independent yakuake sessions per activity?
- Quest for low latency wayland

Will Pop!_OS ever do an officially KDE flavor or will it forever be GNOME-only? Would you like Pop!_OS to do a KDE Flavor? (Poll)
Interesting. If you don't mind, I'm working on KWinFT, originally forked from KWin, and now in the process of splitting out reusable libraries for compositor creation. My goal is to provide desktop-agnostic template libraries, so might be a good fit for you.

Sway merged the new vulkan renderer!
All I can think of is the KWinFT project, how that project benifits from this as well.
-
Do I even need kwin-lowlatency any more ?
https://gitlab.com/kwinft/kwinft/-/issues/182 has the opposite

Will Qt support the Rust language by default? (just curiosity)
As an anecdote, the three top contributors to sixtyfps are ex-Qt people. I think it is not anecdotal that there is at least some degree of overlap and competition between Rust and C++, and that this is a market that surely The Qt Company is watching.

BeeWare – write Python, run as native everywhere
SixtyFPS (https://sixtyfps.io/) is in progress for Rust, but it is still early days. It also does not technically use a native toolkit (it uses Qt), but I believe that might be on roadmap. For traditional GUI apps, I think the lack of a table or tree widget is the most limiting for the time being. They have stated they intend to remedy that.
-
What are the best GUI libraries for a potentially “serious”/large project?
The most promising GUI hasn't been posted here, SixtyFPS. It's in it's early stages and not FOSS, but it's built by some ex-QT cats and has a lot of potential.
-
Is there a reliable and documented GUI library out there?
People have been recommending https://sixtyfps.io/ to me.
- Images in sixtyfps
-
Is it worth writing a GUI toolkit in Rust?
There is already a project to make a Qt like GUI toolkit in Rust: https://sixtyfps.io/ It is really similar to Qt https://sixtyfps.io/releases/0.1.5/docs/rust/sixtyfps/index.html
-
Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
People are doing that too. https://sixtyfps.io/ is basically a Qt clone in Rust, actually developed by previous Qt developers.

I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!
spdlog, a pretty useful and more and more commonly used logging library for C++.\ SixtyFPS, an emerging GUI library for Rust, but you can use it in multiple languages. It uses OpenGL or Qt currently as backend (well, it's a new library and they wanted two from the get-go to make sure their abstractions are done right/well enough). They started a company this year for it too.

Why I choose Electron even when I wanted to use QT
Just so some are not aware, there's a new project called sixtyfps by some people who were in the Qt world for long. I didn't take a deep dive into it but it looks promising.
