Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Current Issues With The Qt Project - From The Outside Looking In
Qt mono repo : .. you could check out all submodules and simply use CMake to exactly achieve this. A mono repo also means that if I only use qtbase and declarative, I would need to have all submodules in there? - No

Why is building a UI in Rust so hard?
For e.g. if you’re writing a framework, you need to interface with Cocoa on MacOS to draw windows, which only provides an Objective C or Swift interface. You can look at the Qt source code and see how they do it: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/tree/067b53864112c084587fa9a507eb4bde3d50a6e1/src/plugins/platforms/cocoa

Fish (shell) porting to Rust from C++
That's because Qt 6 wholeheartedly converted to CMake for you. (At least it is better than qmake.) In order to support this Qt has this large battery of CMake files [1]. Qt is of course a clear outlier, but you can't expect the same level of support from every other library you want. My points about "anything exotic" still stand.

A GTK4 Firefox with Libwaita is the next step into the right direction (Please click on the link and upvote my proposal).
What are you talking about? Qt has GTK theme support built-in: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/tree/dev/src/plugins/platformthemes/gtk3
- Ask HN: Why is there no performant remote desktop for Mac/Linux?

What is this "Portal" which keeps sending notifications when opening the Choose a diskfile window? Is it safe to disable the notifications of it, or will I miss important notifications?
This looks like the Qt bug solved by this commit: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commit/acaabc9108dfe75530960cf8e3ec4f3602cd82e0
- Where online can I find the Qt6 header files?

member function definitions should have been like this
Yeah, I'm sure it's completely unheard of. Oh except that it took me all of a couple minutes to find an example of that exact thing in one of the largest, most commonly used C++ frameworks out there.

Post-mortem of a long-standing bug in video Game Path Of Exile, which was caused by a stale pointer
I don't see any connect in https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/dev/src/corelib/tools/qsharedpointer_impl.h, and QPointer isn't a QObject (though I don't know if the latter is actually necessary for signal-slots). One (unreliable) way to test is to see if a QPointer fails to be nulled out when the QObject is blocked by a QSignalBlocker. Alternatively I'd set a data breakpoint on a QPointer and try it out. But I don't have the time right now.

Sorry... what diskette?
I know all that shit because I'm the author of Rust's WinSafe library, which is a safer Rust layer over native Win32, so I had to deal with a lot of shit like this.

What is Rust's potential in game development?
Externally, you can write a lot of native Windows stuff in Rust already. Personally, I'm having a lot of fun with WinSafe.
-
What are the scenarios where "Rewrite it in Rust" didn't meet your expectations or couldn't be successfully implemented?
If you had such problems (which I also had in the past), I'm really interested in you opinion about WinSafe, and if it could help you solving them.
-
Is there a more "traditional" desktop front end I can use with Tauri?
If you're after a native Windows application, WinSafe may suit your needs.

GitHub - ryanmcgrath/cacao: Rust bindings for AppKit (macOS) and UIKit (iOS/tvOS). Experimental, but working!
As the author of WinSafe, I can say it's tedious sometimes, but it's often very challenging, because you have to translate crazy unsafe behaviors into Rust's ownership model. It's surely hard, but also very rewarding at the end.

Microsoft is rewriting core Windows libraries in Rust
As the author of the WinSafe lib, I wholeheartedly agree.

A Proposal for Safe Window Handles
I don't know how rare this is (or how rare it should be), but this issue warned me about this potential problem, and I had to make a huge refactoring to treat the possibility. I had to rethink many aspects of all handle implementations. It was hard work, but in the end it was worth it.

Use ManuallyDrop in Rust to control drop order of structure fields
WinSafe, for example (which attemps to be a safe layer over the Windows API), provides lots of RAII automations. A fine example is the BeginPaint function:
