Rust GUI framework
There is Iced which is used by system76 in Pop!_OS, Druid [DISCONTINUED], GTK-rs, Relm, Azul and Tauri. Personally I would use Tauri for its speed using the OS's native web render, documentation of use with things such as Sveltekit and the ability to make UI's using JS, CSS and HTML. Tauri similarly to Electron whilst being far faster. But its up to personal preference really. There aren't any solid "go to" options at the moment.

What are the pros/cons of the best GUI options for a cross platform app in Rust?
Currently, I have narrowed potential libraries to: 1. Flutter 2. FLTK 3. Relm (GTK) 4. iced 5. Slint 6. Imgui, Imgui-rs 7. and gtk-rs

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (4/2023)!
Relm (GTK)
-
is makeing Vulkan guis worth it?
Relm, Slint (formerly SixtyFPS), Druid and Iced are all very promising idiomatic GUI toolkits with a great deal of community activity around them, and all of those perform substantially better in the accessibility department than ImGui and egui, to my knowledge. areweguiyet.com can give you some more pointers as well.

The state of Rust GUI libraries
To use relm, you need to add the gtk and relm libraries to your project's dependencies in your Cargo.toml file. You’ll also need to have the gtk library installed.

A declarative desktop UI framework for Rust built on GTK and GTK-rs
No , not really a lot of the time people are trying to tackle problems that have taken years to solve in other languages which isn’t easy and is why you see stuff abandoned. This project is also pretty similar to [relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) which is an active project.

egui or iced or druid?
The [older gtk3 version of relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) has 2.1k stars. Relm4 is uses gtk4 which is newer.

Any good resources for using Rust with GTK4 and Libadwaita?

GTK language bindings, GObject over native classes?
Probably, many gtk-rs devs have used C before and also GObjects can give you more control in some cases. But for the most part you will be fine using idiomatic Rust with something like Relm4.

Got a few questions for those who are daily drivin the PinePhone
As for writing apps, I've been enjoying Rust + Relm4 (https://github.com/AaronErhardt/relm4), but it might be easier to start off with Python or Vala and GTK or similar. A lot of gnome apps are Python. This looks like a good way to get started: https://www.gtk.org/docs/language-bindings/python/

Recommended Rust GUI Libraries
Creator of [Relm4](https://github.com/AaronErhardt/relm4 here. Of course I might be a bit biased but I honestly think Relm4 has currently the best cross-platform and full-featured GUI experience for Rust programmers :)
