Which GUI toolkit for Rust today.. few questions...
On windows, I'll probably use https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui or https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs both of them seem pretty solid.

Good Rust System Tray Library?
My crate native-windows-gui supports tray application, if you only care about Windows. Example: https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui/blob/master/native-windows-gui/examples/system_tray_d.rs

What's everyone working on this week (15/2021)?
Created a small resident windows program that shows a different icon depending on battery level test how easy using windows-rs and native-windows-gui is. Picked this as an easy learning project after seeing Battery Buddy for macOS.

The state of gui libraries in rust?
If you only need to support Windows desktop, then let me shill my crate: native-windows-gui. It's super lightweight and it wraps pretty much all the gui stuff provided by win32. Just note that isn't really customizable look-wise.

GTK language bindings, GObject over native classes?
Probably, many gtk-rs devs have used C before and also GObjects can give you more control in some cases. But for the most part you will be fine using idiomatic Rust with something like Relm4.

Got a few questions for those who are daily drivin the PinePhone
As for writing apps, I've been enjoying Rust + Relm4 (https://github.com/AaronErhardt/relm4), but it might be easier to start off with Python or Vala and GTK or similar. A lot of gnome apps are Python. This looks like a good way to get started: https://www.gtk.org/docs/language-bindings/python/

Recommended Rust GUI Libraries
Creator of [Relm4](https://github.com/AaronErhardt/relm4 here. Of course I might be a bit biased but I honestly think Relm4 has currently the best cross-platform and full-featured GUI experience for Rust programmers :)
