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.

WASM: Big Deal or Little Deal?
It is what Makepad is working on in an interesting way using Wasm and Rust. They have created a Figma-like DSL and a good code separation with the logic behind it. You can edit UI's of in-production apps, and they are bundling an editor for that. Accessibility is an issue, and the project are looking to offer proper support there. In their video linked on the README they run the conference slides on Makepad with live apps embedded and running at 120 fps.

Snappy UIs with WebAssembly and Web Workers
> if anyone tells you they need to use WebAssembly to make the UI snappy I'd advise you interrogate that assertion thoroughly.
Get prepared to be blown away by Makepad [0]. I have no affiliation with them, but just watched their most recent conference presentation [1]. The slides were made with Makepad itself and included, embedded, a full-blown IDE, a synthesizer app, a Mandelbrod to zoom in endlessly, and more. All running at 120fps. The presentation is for the most part live-coding with this setup.
What they want to do is bring coders and designers closer together, and while some code is in Rust they developed a DSL for the GUI parts that is close to how Figma works. These GUI's can run anywhere.
And I couldn't help thinking "Why would people have complicated stacks to create Web 2.0 apps for the Google Web, when they have this?", in other words an opportunity to break out of the browser straitjacket.

Makepad- Synthesizer Written in Rust
https://github.com/makepad/makepad
It's the iron fish project.
For those who haven’t seen it, Makepad is also an in-browser code editor with an open-source UI toolkit. Looks like this synth is one of the examples of the UI toolkit.

50 Shades of Rust, or emerging Rust GUIs in a WASM world
And I'm obsessed with what happens when you press Alt in their editor. I never knew I wanted this, but boy, do I want it.

Leveraging Rust and the GPU to render user interfaces at 120 FPS
I tried this, using https://makepad.dev our GPU accelerated UI and renderstack. And unfortunately it wasn't a great experience. Text popping forward for whatever reason is not really an improvement (i tried indent depth, syntax highlighting reasons, cursor behavior). Maybe 'veeeeery' subtly could do something, but otherwise you dont want it to break visual symmetry as we are used to

Is the regex crate a bottleneck in your program? If so, can you share the details?
Wow, so they did: https://github.com/makepad/makepad/pull/142

Ask HN: I just want to have fun programming again
It says on the front page Mac and Web only
https://github.com/makepad/makepad#prerequisites
(windows and linux are coming )
Sorry if this has been said elsewhere, but - Makepad! You should check out Makepad!
https://github.com/makepad/makepad
It's a Rust library for developing cross-platform apps. It's not 1.0 yet; there's still things to finish, but it's being actively developed (https://fosstodon.org/@rikarends#), and it's already pretty fun to play with. And the fact that it compiles and runs with the same widgets on Web as it does for Windows and Mac (Linux and Android are imminent, according to the dev's updates) makes it very appealing for my "write once, deploy anywhere" sensibilities.
Fast, easy, and free. Just waiting on it to be "live", for now! Don't forget to check out the demos.

Rust Web Framework Comparison
We can! It’s a lot of work because you don’t have the whole JS ecosystem to fall back on, but to some that’s a feature not a bug.
My favorite example of this is https://makepad.dev

A Rant on Developers
I'm not speaking out of my ass, either, I have very actively followed low-level development being done towards open-source engines such as Diligent and Wicked. I personally am a contributor to the latter engine, as well. It is baffling to me that independent developers don't support this platform.

Is the bgfx library any good?
Im a big fan of the Diligent Engine myself. Its at roughly the same abstraction layer as bgfx.

The current state of GPU API's and why I wish V-EZ hadn't died.
If you're looking for something like bgfx but a bit lower level and targeting only modern GPUs, you might want to check out Diligent Engine.
I like the DiligentEngine myself. Either one will work fine.

Game engine for programmars
I use the Diligent Engine and have custom code to do config, resource management, etc.
