The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Druid, a Rust-native UI toolkit, released v0.8 after two years of work by 80 contributors.
That sounds quite similar to Tauri’s Tao, so a brief comparison could come in handy.
- Multiple applications with libappindicator fails since Bullseye
- electron app load faster in development then in production

Making the popup show faster
Now the string Alt+Enter pressed! should be logged into the console every time I press Alt+Enter. But it doesn't work and I didn't know why ... until I found this open issue on the tao repository: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tao/issues/307

Released my first crate - an extensible parsing engine for mathematical expressions - thoughts welcome
This crate is the backend for another project of mine, which is currently Windows only - it will be Linux compatible as well pending the closure of this issue on an upstream project. Should work on OSX as well in theory, but I have no way to test that at this time

Wikit Desktop - A dictionary application using tauri GUI framework
Big fan of .mdx resources and GoldenDict. Unfortunately Wikit Desktop does not run on Wayland natively due to https://github.com/tauri-apps/tao/issues/248. Can Wikit disable global shortcuts to work it around?

A simple 2d graphic library
You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.

Druid, a Rust-native UI toolkit, released v0.8 after two years of work by 80 contributors.
First, at the deepest level, we are moving away from Piet, which is a cross-platform 2D graphics abstraction. Under the hood it uses whatever the standard OS API is. Instead we will be using Vello which we have been building as a research project for years already. It is starting to near its v0.1, which is very exciting. Fundamentally it is a novel GPU accelerated 2D rendering engine with a strong focus on performance. It is not ready for benchmarks yet, but we're confident it will deliver. If you're curious, you can check out the Vello roadmap for 2023.

What 2D graphics library would you most recommend?
you can use piet, although that is more of an abstraction over existing, platform-dependent libraries. So not really pure rust, but definitely cross-platform.

Piet-GPU Progress: Clipping
Piet is the backend for the Druid UI framework. It is indeed cross-platform. The SVG backend looks like it would work without an OS, but I'm not sure the value of a GUI toolkit without an OS anyway :)

Looking for an image manipulation library that can add text to images. (and has documentation for it)
Piet can render text. You can use Piet_common with the BitMapTarget to generate images Here is an example.
-
Simple graphics library using software rendering?
Piet (https://github.com/linebender/piet) should work.

What Graphics Library to use?
So the 3 I'm looking at right now are 1. druid 1. piet 1. bevy

Rust GUI: Introduction, a.k.a. the state of Rust GUI libraries (As of January 2021)
It relies on piet 2D graphic library; on Linux that means GTK/Cairo 2D primitives
