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.

Is there any way to host an executable/application REMOTELY that anyone with a terminal can run/interact with without any installation? Currently, I'm limited to CURLable web scripts, but those are tedious and don't have interactable menus or animations or anything.
Which language do you use? Here is a Rust implementation of an SSH server. It handles opening the port to listen, creating the client connection, and retrieving data from the client (using getch). Then you can funnel that to an NCurses libraryand send the output back to the user
