Capturing the WebGPU Ecosystem
https://github.com/coconut-xr/apfel-kruemel works today, I only know about battery-optimized software in the context of games though.
https://felt.com/blog/svg-to-canvas-part-2-building-interact... and https://github.com/servo/pathfinder/ might also be of interest.

Servo, the parallel browser engine written in Rust
Parts of Servo to enable the use of the GPU for compositing layers were merged into Firefox years ago.

It's a shame that Patrick Walton didn't get a chance to finish his work on the Pathfinder GPU renderer.
>Pathfinder 3 is a fast, practical, GPU-based rasterizer for fonts and vector graphics using OpenGL 3.0+, OpenGL ES 3.0+, WebGL 2, and Metal.

What do you believe Firefox is missing?
It uses too much CPU and performance leaves much to be desired compared to Chromium. They were going to use Pathfinder in Firefox to solve this problem, but since Pathfinder is discontinued due to the massive layoffs at Mozilla, the project was abandoned. And they need a replacement IMO.

Stereokit – open-source mixed reality library by Microsoft
I am not an expert in the area, just somebody who read up on it after realizing desktop in VR does not work out for me (and usually low res is not a problem).
I think something like https://github.com/servo/pathfinder (newer) and as you mentioned SDF (older) are the latest approaches.

Getting into GUI: Shapes moving on networks
Also on my list was pathfinder. There the documented crate is vastly different from https://github.com/servo/pathfinder which looks much more promising – it comes with a few examples, some of wihch might help me get started, maybe?

WebKit: Introducing the layer based SVG engine
Have you checked out the Pathfinder library?

I wrote a web based text editor to showcase sauron framework, but it turns out better than I expected, less than 20ms typing latency.
Don't forget gpu-based text rendering (e.g. #1, #2, #3). It's still in its infant stages, and seems to be mostly untouched over the past 5 years, but I suspect it will become the preferred method for rendering text later.

Is Pathfinder (the graphics library) still being developed?
The main repo is mainly receiving automatic patches: https://github.com/servo/pathfinder/commits/master

Bevy vector graphics library?
The problem with femtovg currently is, that it's based on OpenGL. There is a fork for wgpu already, but it's not up to date with master and I'm not sure how difficult merging will be.
- Is there an easy wrapper for wgpu?

Iced: A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
You guys should also check out the femtovg project, a 2D rendering API that sixty fps relies on.

It's a decent starting point for trying to build your own toolkit.
I have recently added a wgpu backend but for now it lives in my fork https://github.com/adamnemecek/femtovg
run the demo with `cargo run --example wgpu_demo --release`.

Good GUI toolkit/library recommendations needed
It's not a GUI framework but I'm involved with this project called femtovg, it's a Rust nanovg port. I've recently added a wgpu backend. Run the demo with cargo run --example wgpu_demo --release. Some people have been using it for their own UIs, e.g. tuix. I think that you should consider rolling your own GUI toolkit, it's not that bad and you'll appreciate the control.

Electron vs. Qt for a new open-source file organization project
I have been recently rolling my own Rust GUI framework using this rendering crate I’m invovled with https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg and I’m pretty happy with it.
I recently added a wgpu backend https://github.com/adamnemecek/femtovg.
Combine that with the Flutter layout (check out the Druid implementation), and you have a GUI framework.

Is Pathfinder (the graphics library) still being developed?
I added a wgpu backend not too long ago, it’s in my fork for now femtovg.

SixtyFPS v0.0.6 (GUI Toolkit in Rust): Now with IDE Support
SixtyFPS is a project started by Simon Hausmann and Olivier Goffart who previously worked on Qt at Trolltech.
SixtyFPS is the first project with a company behind it which uses femtovg, a Rust nanovg port. https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg.
Recently, we've added an experimental wgpu backend which is for now in my fork of the project https://github.com/adamnemecek/femtovg
