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.

Azure CTO: βIt's time to halt starting any new projects in C/C++ β
Most GUI apps don't need what Qt provides though. They mostly need stability and cross-platform support, so ... they should start with something like Tauri or Sciter, and if there is something they need natively they will be in a much better situation to pick their poison.
https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri uses OS provided WebView
https://github.com/sciter-sdk/rust-sciter uses Sciter

Do you think the Rust is production ready for GUI in 2021?
I seriously advise against using rust-sciter. It uses a lot of unsafe code, some of which is invalid and directly causes Undefined Behavior; see for example issue #114. rust-sciter's author doesn't seem to have any interest in fixing those. Besides, the code is highly unidomatic and looks like it's been written to resemble C++ β this is in itself not wrong, but always a red flag.

Any stable crate to develop a cross-platform Rust desktop app?
I use https://github.com/sciter-sdk/rust-sciter in my project https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk

Ask HN: What is the best way to build a desktop app in Windows in 2023?
It's a shame that, unlike with Win32, using WinUI places pretty harsh restrictions on which programming languages and environments you can use. Only C# and C++ are supported, the latter only with Microsoft compilers. For everything else, including Rust[1], Python and MinGW C/C++, there is no answer for OP's question, and the effect of this on the visual consistency of the Windows desktop is obvious - there is none. Every third-party app uses a different toolkit with a different look and feel, because the library providing the standard look and feel simply isn't available to the majority of developers.

Good rust book for the 1st time programmer with no prior programming experience?

What in Rust is equivalent to C++ DLLs (shared libraries), or what do I need to do to support extensions in my app?
On Windows you'd need to call the LoadLibraryEx method. You'd also need a crate to call Win32 functions, I suggest windows-rs.

Microsoft is to enable Rust use for Windows 11 kernel
windows-rs, Microsoft's crate wrapping the Windows API, already includes the WDK, the special sdk for creating kernel code.
-
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.
-
Which crate for listing / moving Windows 11 windows ?
*nod* It's an official Microsoft thing generated from official Microsoft API definition files. (The repo is at microsoft/windows-rs on GitHub.)

Kernel Headers for Windows could soon make it into windows-rs
Microsoft offers official "bindings" to Win32 APIs through win32metadata. However, until recently, it did not include metadata for kernel-level functions or WDK. In early 2021, an issue was raised through windows-rs regarding this limitation, but progress was slow until now. Microsoft has finally released official metadata for WDK, which can be found on the wdkmetadata repository. The latest comment on the issue thread can be found here:

Is the Rust ecosystem capable of making a cross-platform mobile game with p2p Bluetooth yet?
Is something wrong with https://github.com/deviceplug/btleplug or you haven't found it? You could also use bindings to platform libraries like https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs and https://github.com/rust-mobile/ndk if btleplug doesn't have something fundamental to you.
