sysinfo-gui VS rust-dominator

I found both nice but outside of some minimal example, both approaches to have their limitations, and limiting oneself to a single architecture can be very restricting. I'm currently using a mix of the 2 in a new app: sysinfo-gui where views are changed using an something elm-like, while the realtime rendering of system changes is done in an immediate mode fashion inside the view code. The code is a bit of a mess now, since I've tried to shoehorn either architecture at some point, along with having to deal with a bug on gnome.

They are both async and made for GUI -- in case of rust-signals WebGUI, provided by dominator and MoonZoon.

You shouldn’t ever need to deal with OsString itself on wasm32-unknown-unknown, since that target basically just doesn’t cover functionality that needs it, but the actual situation is genuinely worse than OsString: Rust insists on valid Unicode (as is right and proper), but the web suffers from the affliction of ill-formed UTF-16. If you blindly convert from JavaScript strings to Rust strings, you will encounter data and functionality loss in a few situations, in practice always involving IME (or similar) text entry on Windows. The first bug I filed about this: https://github.com/Pauan/rust-dominator/issues/10, and you can follow further links if you’re interested. IE and Edge used to be largely immune to this, but IE is dead and I suppose Edge will have regressed in this way with the Chromium migration, since the bug filed in Chromium a few years ago <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=949056> has languished. (Firefox too, with <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1541349>.) In the worst-case scenario, careless use like was the case in rust-dominator will mean that some users typing with particular software in a language that’s outside the Basic Multilingual Plane will not be able to type anything.

One comparison I'm missing , which I think provides quite a nice solution in Rust, is the signals based approach popularized by Solid JS and implemented in Rust by sycamore and earlier by dominator.

I really don't understand why everyone jumps to Yew when it comes to front-end development. Dominator is a far cleaner and more Rust-orientated approach to building front-end apps. I have worked with both and I feel that Yew adds a lot complexity/forces a lot of design philosophies but gives very little back in terms of advantages.

Hi, I've just released a major new version of Silkenweb. It's a signals based web framework like Dominator or Sycamore, but with the emphasis on plain rust syntax rather than a macro DSL.

Check out the alternatives without vdom, especially Dominator https://github.com/Pauan/rust-dominator. It’s faster than nearly all JS frameworks. The underlying rust-signals it’s based on is a fantastic crate. Unfortunately it’s not very well documented (check the prs for some wip docs). I got a frontend up and going with reactivity and nice styles using trunk and tailwindcss with daisyUI very quickly.

How does this compare to dominator?
