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.

Will Qt support the Rust language by default? (just curiosity)
As an anecdote, the three top contributors to sixtyfps are ex-Qt people. I think it is not anecdotal that there is at least some degree of overlap and competition between Rust and C++, and that this is a market that surely The Qt Company is watching.

BeeWare – write Python, run as native everywhere
SixtyFPS (https://sixtyfps.io/) is in progress for Rust, but it is still early days. It also does not technically use a native toolkit (it uses Qt), but I believe that might be on roadmap. For traditional GUI apps, I think the lack of a table or tree widget is the most limiting for the time being. They have stated they intend to remedy that.

What are the best GUI libraries for a potentially “serious”/large project?
The most promising GUI hasn't been posted here, SixtyFPS. It's in it's early stages and not FOSS, but it's built by some ex-QT cats and has a lot of potential.
-
Is there a reliable and documented GUI library out there?
People have been recommending https://sixtyfps.io/ to me.
-
Is it worth writing a GUI toolkit in Rust?
There is already a project to make a Qt like GUI toolkit in Rust: https://sixtyfps.io/ It is really similar to Qt https://sixtyfps.io/releases/0.1.5/docs/rust/sixtyfps/index.html
-
Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
People are doing that too. https://sixtyfps.io/ is basically a Qt clone in Rust, actually developed by previous Qt developers.

I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!
spdlog, a pretty useful and more and more commonly used logging library for C++.\ SixtyFPS, an emerging GUI library for Rust, but you can use it in multiple languages. It uses OpenGL or Qt currently as backend (well, it's a new library and they wanted two from the get-go to make sure their abstractions are done right/well enough). They started a company this year for it too.
-
Why I choose Electron even when I wanted to use QT
Just so some are not aware, there's a new project called sixtyfps by some people who were in the Qt world for long. I didn't take a deep dive into it but it looks promising.
-
State of Rust GUI in 2021?
https://sixtyfps.io/ have a toolkit with Rust with free and paid offerings. I haven't used it, but might be worth the look.

tinydraw 0.1.1
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!

Iced: A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
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`.
Also join the femtovg discord https://discord.gg/V69VdVu

Any recommended resources for beginning graphics with Rust
I'm involved with the femtovg project. We are definitely looking for contributors. Join the discord channel.

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.

WASM-only web browser
I'm currently using some graphics library (femtovg), which alredy works well with wasm. It currently uses OpenGL as a backend, but there already exists a WGPU backend, which is not merged yet. So generally I'd prefer, if only WGPU is supported, but since more programs are still written on top of OpenGL it might be a good idea to support WebGL as well.
