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.

Building W-9 Crafter
Tauri seemed like the "thing" I should switch to because everybody loves Rust (heh), and because it ships significantly smaller apps.

Tauri + React + ShadcnUI
First of all, I will be using npm as my package manager but feel free to use whatever you prefer. Find more info here.

Tauri - Rust, Js and Native Apps
Today I'm talking about Tauri! Do you know all the various tools that allow you to develop native applications starting from web languages? They often need an intermediate compilation, in the middle of which you end up encountering various problems not always transparent and directly solvable with a language mostly detached from native development. On the other hand, there's still the ease of developing attractive and easily usable interfaces, which are more difficult to develop with low level languages.

Mozilla's Abandoned Web Engine 'Servo' Project Is Getting a Well-Deserved Reboot
I thought not much: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/579
That issue is four years old. Here is a discussion from last month: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/discussions/8524#discuss... . The two teams are apparently working together.

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software
I feel that we would've had better tooling for writing performant GUI apps today if electron JS never took off.
It certainly has its place, and I laud the authors for their efforts, but seeing how every startup is using electron for their native applications, I have little hope for lean software.
At the end of the day, developers need to finance their projects. No other toolchain out there [1] is going to give you the flexibility, development speed, and freedom to develop beautiful looking desktop apps using the muscle memory you trained while writing webpages. Of course, you can write the same application in Qt, GLFW, whatever, but I don't think anyone will disagree that it's much slower to build and prototype responsive UIs with these tools.
[1] Wry and Tauri (https://tauri.app/) might be noteworthy, but I don't know how much of a difference they make, as the runtime is still JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

- Desktop/Mobile wrapping: [Tauri](https://tauri.app)
I know building native apps with web technologies is a bit lame since it's a glorified web view on native devices and thus is somewhat limited, but as a web developer this allows me to play in those worlds a bit more.
I've tried to learn Swift/Kotlin but haven't been able to get as far as I have with JavaScript yet.

Dioxus 0.5: Web, Desktop, Mobile Apps in Rust
Wrote about that here: https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus?tab=readme-ov-file#diox...
You're probably not going to be building an email client or the next instagram in egui, but it is good for stuff where you're fine with re-rendering every entire frame (data viz, graphics stuff).
Wrote about that here in our readme:
https://github.com/dioxusLabs/dioxus/?tab=readme-ov-file#dio...
Tauri puts your frontend in the webview and you need to communicate with native Rust functions through an IPC boundary (like electron).
In Dioxus your Rust code lives on the native side, so you don't need IPC to do things like read from the file system, websockets, etc. Tauri also forces your frontend to compile to WASM, and a lot of interesting rust crates don't compile to wasm.
It's a little hard to express how much simpler it is to build when you don't have an IPC boundary. Dioxus' tooling is also dedicated to just Rust, so you can go from zero to bundled `.app` in less than a minute (12 seconds fresh build, 20 seconds fresh bundle).

Using Dioxus with Rust to build performant single-page apps
While we took an in-depth look at Dioxus in this tutorial, there is still so much to learn. Luckily, Dioxus provides detailed documentation with references and cookbooks to guide developers. Make sure you check it out, and feel free to comment below with any questions.

Package All the Things
You can probably imagine the challenges of integrating such a system in a robust way that does a good job and improves on the status quo. We felt like the Tauri implementation worked well for Tauri apps. But there’s a problem: it was so tightly coupled to Tauri that the work couldn’t be enjoyed by other projects (not even the ones like Dioxus who were using Tauri’s underlying technology of Tao + Wry).

Announcing Floneum (A open source graph editor for local AI workflows written in rust)
Floneum is a graph editor for local AI workflows. It uses llm to run large language models locally, egui, and dioxus for the frontend, and wasmtime for the plugin system. If you are interested in the project, consider joining the discord, or building a plugin for Floneum in rust using WASI
