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.

PSA: OffscreenCanvas now enabled by default on nightly only
This is exciting! And, by the way, are you planning to implement something similar to Servo's Pathfinder in Firefox?

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?

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.

Congrats! I don't want to diminish the accomplishment, but have you seen femtovg? It seems like it's probably well-aligned with your needs.

Bevy vector graphics library?
I'm currently using femtovg for vector graphics in my games, and I would like to get into bevy by porting one of my game prototypes using it to bevy.

Decision paralysis: ggez or macroquad
I use femtovg It's a simple vector graphics engine having all the important features you probably want from a 2D rendering engine: simple shapes, images, text

Keeping POWER relevant in the open source world
https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg/pull/5
Before Power10 was done, IBM actually asked us Raptor users about proposals for useful machine code instructions to add to it. I replied that I’d like to have hardware UTF-8 de-/encoding but they wanted a more detailed proposal and I never got around to write it. I’m not even sure that this would be worthwhile, but I see UTF-8 de-/encoding everywhere in the code I write and would like it to approach memory read/write speeds.
I was very disappointed to learn that they had gone more proprietary with Power10 so I would not have been able to use those instructions anyway. What a pity!

How to use a Rust WebAssembly module in Svelte with Web Workers
In my actual code, I'm using a library called femtovg that is a Rust port of a C library for 2D rendering. But In the blog post I kept the example simple to keep it relevant for people who might want to use Web Workers + WASM for other things; didn't want to get hung up on femtovg for someone who had never heard of it. As you say, if you all you need to do is basic 2D manipulations of a canvas that are supported by the native API, then you likely don't need WASM.

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.
