Ultron - a WIP web base editor with themes and syntax highlighting
This project started as a way to test out sauron web framework, but it turns out to be usable and can be embedded in a web applications such as markdown source code renderer.

Pick a Front End Web Framework
There is also sauron Disclaimer: I'm the author

[ANN] Sauron - a frontend + SSR web framework, v0.50.0 brings initial support for writing WebComponents and huge improvement on the diffing algorithm
This was a fixed to an issue, but I ended up formulating a new diffing algorithm which solves all of the corner cases.
- Anyone here who loves elm and also want try rust. I ported with my best effort elm to rust and I think I made a pretty good job with it. I would be very interested in a feedback from an elm programmer perspective.

Rust Framework like React or Angular?
Try sauron, no ceremonial code, straight to the point, clean and concise with lots of examples
-
[ANN]: Sauron 0.49 is the most stable release of sauron web framework yet
There is a code example here that allows you to use custom elements with sauron, maybe it's a good starting point for a working web component.

[Rust or Node.js] what's your opinion?
From Zero to Production in Rust is a useful guide for getting full stack Rust in production. My favorite client-side web framework is currently sauron.

Front-end Rust framework performance prognosis
Sauron https://github.com/ivanceras/sauron is also crazy fast.

Arc browser launches its Windows client in beta
Web rendering would be Blink, with V8 being the JavaScript engine. I believe they have their own UI rendering process.
I know of another company that does something similar for the UI process, but with WebKit instead as the base:

Ode to the M1
What I'd really like to see with CEF et al, is JS being dropped, in favor of directly controlling the DOM from the host language. Then we could, for example, write a Rust (or Kotlin, Zig, Haskell, etc) desktop application that simply directly manipulated the DOM, and had it rendered by a HTML+CSS layout engine. Folks could then write a React-like framework for that language (to help render & re-render the DOM in an elegant way).
Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/) looks pretty cool. I think another possible option is Servo (https://github.com/servo/servo) – it was abandoned by Mozilla along with Rust during their layoffs a while back (but the project still seems to have a decent bit of activity). It would be great if some group of devs could revive the project, or a company could fund such a revival.
Eventually, we'll need to reflect on, and explore whether HTML+CSS is really the best way to do layout, and we could maybe perhaps consider proting the Android/iOS layout approach over to desktop.

Anselm's Jazz Distributed Infrastructure Framework
I'm curious if the project will be open-source or do you have plans to go the Awesomium/Ultralight route with both open/closed sources and volume licenses? Or do you plan to offer commercial support services like other open source software?

Best cross-platform (Win, Mac, Linux) desktop frameworks?
I’m not tied to any language, but it needs to be able to wrap a c++ library. I started with .NET 7 MAUI - no linux support & very mobile focused. Tried out Electron. Wins on ease and usability, but has massive overhead. (Basic “Hello world” executable compiled to over 200mb) I then discovered Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/). Big win on size, but was last updated 3 years ago.

Remember when this was 0% and 70 mb? This is comical.
tauri exists or if you wanted to ultralig.ht

Digital Audio Workstation Front End Development Struggles
I agree web stuff is really the best way to develop UIs. Good luck making responsive stuff in C++ for example. The paradigm of HTML, CSS, and JS is extremely powerful and even allows you to use canvas, webgpu, wasm.
There are multiple commercial projects that use web dev paradigm for GUIs:
