Looking for this. html + css rendering through wgpu.
If you were to implement this yourself, i'd look into either swash or cosmic-text for the text rendering stack (this is one of the things you really don't want to write from the ground up). For accessibility, AccessKit has quickly become the standard for communicating with crossplatform accessibility APIs in rust GUI. lightningcss (or its lower level counterpart cssparser) are both decent options for CSS parsing. Taffy handles some of what browsers offer for a layout engine, but is still being worked on.

I wrote and mantain Converter NOW (https://github.com/ferraridamiano/ConverterNOW). It is a multiplatform (Android, Linux, Windows and Web) unit and currency converter. It is built to be easy to use, it doesn't require any special permission (just internet to update the exchange rates) and it doesn't contain any form of tracking. The android version is available to both play store and f-droid.

Units converter package with 100% code coverage 🎉
Few days ago I released the first stable relase of units_converter. It is a unit converter package written in dart that has 100% test coverage (this is very important with this kind of libraries, it does one thing and it has to do it well). It also has a permissive license. This package is used in Converter NOW, a multiplatform (android, web, windows, linux) unit converter app written in Flutter.
