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.

How difficult is ncurses?
There are plenty of terminal UI libraries that are actually nice to work with. For Python, there's Textual and PyTermGUI. For Rust, there's ratatui and Cursive (or, if you want something a bit lower level, crosster or termion). For Go, there's bubbletea.

How to test the cursor's position in the following test?
The following code stores the user input and cursor position in a raw terminal (using Termion):

Termion: recreating Backspace for deleting characters
I'm trying to recreate the Backspace functionality with Termion in raw mode. Right now, it works as expected if I'm deleting the last character. But If I move to the left with the Left arrow, then delete a character, the characters on the right of the cursor won't move to the left.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (35/2021)!
If you just need basic printing and limited input then I'd choose either crossterm or termion. If you want a full tui, then tui-rs is really good.
