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'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!
swash - A shaping engine that advertises performance comparable to HarfBuzz, and surpassing it in some cases. Tests are in-progress.

Cosmic: The Road to Alpha
Bit of a side note, but COSMIC depends on the rustybuzz text shaper which is deprecated: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/rustybuzz/issues/74. There was some work underway to bring it up to sync with the latest harfbuzz and then handing over ownership to the harfbuzz team, but this seems to have fizzled out.

Is coding in Rust as bad as in C++? A practical comparison
I understand that this may sound harsh, but I also ported two (far bigger) codebases from C++ to Rust: rustybuzz and tiny-skia. Both of which are production -ready and not just prototypes. And mine not only do not use pointers, but also barely use unsafe in general.

Looking for good sources on incremental rewrites to Rust of portions of a C++ codebase. Is this a feasible approach?

fontdue - The fastest font renderer in the world, written in pure rust.
Speedy2D - Rust library for hardware accelerated drawing of 2D shapes, images, and text, with an easy to use API.
kiss3d - Keep it simple, stupid 3d graphics engine for Rust.
allsorts - Font parser, shaping engine, and subsetter implemented in Rust
ab-glyph - Rust API for loading, scaling, positioning and rasterizing OpenType font glyphs
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
raqote - Rust 2D graphics library
gfx - [maintenance mode] A low-overhead Vulkan-like GPU API for Rust.
