twitvault VS slint

Another shameless plug: I made a cross platform "native (Rust with Webkit)" desktop app that does the same thing (Win/Lin/Mac). It also allows you to see your "profile" afterwards in the app, search within your Tweets, and allows backing up things like mentions, responses, likes, etc:

I recently build this side project with Dioxus:

Here's a review of the experience of using it:

Did you get a chance to check https://slint.dev?

Disclaimer: I work for Slint

Currently, we do it by using binaries through napi-rs so we can bring in a window using the platform native API. And then we do some hack to merge the event loops.

But if Deno supports bringing up a window directly, this means we can just ship wasm instead of native binary for all platform. And also I hope event loop integration will be simplified.

Although we'd also need more API than just showing a window (mouse and keyboard input, accessibility, popup window, system tray, ...)

Thanks for reporting the broken link. Fixed in https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/commit/9200480b532f49007d2...

With Slint (https://slint.dev) we're trying to make a lightweight toolkit that doesn't use HTML/CSS. And that you can program either from low level languages such as C++ or Rust. As well as with higher level language such as JavaScript, and we want to extend to python too.

I haven't. I was just searching for a GUI library that was Bevy-compatible and slint isn't at the moment: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/discussions/940

Sorry!

Trying to do that with Slint: https://slint.dev

You can do that with Slint (https://slint.dev) and its linuxkms backend. No need for a xorg server or wayland compositor, just run the application made with Slint from the init script.
