What can rust do
For GUI applications, the story is mixed. There are several GUI frameworks in active development, but nothing as polished and battle-tested as Electron for TypeScript. There are bindings to GTK, but they're cumbersome to work with, and I wouldn't recommend it to a Rust newbie. There's also Tauri, which is a bit like Electron and lets you write the GUI in HTML/CSS/JS and the business logic in Rust.

Do Rust and Lua work well together?
Concerning GUI frameworks, the most common ones are druid, egui and iced. All three of them run native and on the Web.
-
What was the hardest coming from C++ to Rust?
Going to give a shoutout to druid. I've recently tried it with the Lapce editor and it's just so smooth, fast and works so well for a pre-alpha app.
-
What GUI libs are out there and good to use?
As iced and egui were difficult for me, i started with druid.

Rust GUI framework
There is Iced which is used by system76 in Pop!_OS, Druid [DISCONTINUED], GTK-rs, Relm, Azul and Tauri. Personally I would use Tauri for its speed using the OS's native web render, documentation of use with things such as Sveltekit and the ability to make UI's using JS, CSS and HTML. Tauri similarly to Electron whilst being far faster. But its up to personal preference really. There aren't any solid "go to" options at the moment.

What do people use for simple UI projects?
Druid should be good for most cases, it has a lot of built-in widget for the UI, you can even make a custom widget with a canvas-alike painting API.

Druid, a Rust-native UI toolkit, released v0.8 after two years of work by 80 contributors.
Druid, which is a Rust-native UI toolkit for building desktop applications targeting Windows/macOS/Linux/OpenBSD/FreeBSD, has a new version out - v0.8.

Dioxus: User interfaces that run anywhere
You can use GTK from Rust. But the Rust native ones aren't really there yet. [Iced](https://github.com/iced-rs/iced) which has been picked up by System76 and [Druid](https://github.com/linebender/druid) (and it's next gen version [Xilem](https://github.com/linebender/xilem)) are the ones to watch, along with Dioxus which is the main post here.
I'd expect there to be something useable by the end of 2023.
-
Are there any good UI/GUI libraries out there?
I'm using egui, and it is easy to pick up, but you might be better served by druid. It's the ui that lapce is built on, so it's definitely capable.

I'm trying to build a progress bar for an Iced GUI app and having a lot of trouble with it.
I am building an app using Iced that takes hashes of the files in a directory and assigns them to a profile. The problem is that I can't get the progress bar to update in real time. I've been checking out examples like this https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/tree/master/examples/download_progress. But I just can't get the progress bar to move. Is anyone available to take a look at my code and maybe show me a fix (as long as you're okay with MIT licensing your changes)?

What's everyone working on this week (27/2023)?
Working on Halloy - an IRC chat client for Mac, Windows and Linux. Written with Iced as GUI framework.

Halloy - a GUI application with Iced for IRC
Do you mean the pane grid? That’s the PaneGrid widget from Iced: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/tree/master/examples/pane_grid
It’s a pretty new feature we merged 2 months ago: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/pull/1856

Show HN: Halloy – A GUI Application in Rust for IRC
Holy shit this GUI framework looks good. I am a Qt fanboi, but this looks great. Normally, I skip all the "X for Rust" posts as a bunch of fanaticism. Could it really be different this time???
The feature list is really impressive: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced
Plus, here is the road map with many things already done: https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/blob/master/ROADMAP.md
Wow, wow, wow: Keep up the great work.
One of the rendering engines is Skia by Google. This library is sneaking up fast on us...
Judging from the Cargo.toml
https://github.com/squidowl/halloy/blob/main/Cargo.toml
It seems to use iced gui toolkit
