- I have 0 coding experience or knowledge. I used ChatGPT to create code that would automate 80% of my work and I don't know how to deal with this newfound power

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.

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.

Writing to a real stdout in the following adapter pattern
But let's say I want to write to Termion's raw terminal: stdout().into_raw_mode().unwrap();

How to write the mock version of this trait method?
And I implemented it for a TermWriter struct (Note: DetectCursorPos comes from the Termion crate):

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):

That being said, termion has already handle this for us (an example).

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.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Native Windows GUI and Termion you can also consider the following projects:
gtk - DEPRECATED, use https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs repository instead!
crossterm - Cross platform terminal library rust
Azul - Desktop GUI Framework
ncurses-rs - A low-level ncurses wrapper for Rust
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
Cursive - A Text User Interface library for the Rust programming language
imgui-rs - Rust bindings for Dear ImGui
tui-rs - Build terminal user interfaces and dashboards using Rust
conrod - An easy-to-use, 2D GUI library written entirely in Rust.
QML-rust - QML (Qt Quick) bindings for Rust language
orbtk - The Rust UI-Toolkit.
nfd-rs - OS-native file dialogs on Linux, OS X and Windows
