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.

Rebuilding the same project 11 different ways: This week using global state management (with Redux) to help me update the different components with the current application state, but using React to build the UI (not manually building the UI with HTML like in a previous flavor).
I’ve never used Redux, just haven’t cared to look into it for any projects I’ve worked on, but from a quick glance at an example it seems like it could be useful/convenient. Although then again you can write an event dispatcher in like 30 lines of TS, probably with redux-like state with a little extra work, although I’ve never tried, and that could be a bad idea in practice idk.

Vim is the #4 most loved editor with a 70% rating, according to the 2021 Stackoverflow Developer Survey (Neovim is #1, VSCode #2)
Instead, Nvim provides an RPC protocol that may be implemented by external GUIs. For example, there exists a plugin that embeds Nvim into Firefox when editing textboxes, GUIs that leverage Nvim's multigrid support to support smooth scrolling, translucent popups, minimaps, etc. such as Uivonim, Goneovim and Neovide, and more.

What's everyone working on this week (31/2021)?
Porting my (forked, so not all my work) text editor uivonim to use Tauri instead of Electron. PR for those curious is here: https://github.com/smolck/uivonim/pull/336

Microsoft Teams 2.0 will use half the memory, dropping Electron for Edge Webview2
Of course, I'm biased, since I work on a GUI frontend to neovim written in electron (that I forked from a project that already used electron), but I have found that it's not as bad as people make it out to be, or at least that it doesn't have to be that bad. I would like to get rid of it though if I can, maybe by doing the rendering with wgpu-rs and GUI things with egui.

Shifting GUI colors - seems pretty useless but I kinda like it
I came up with this idea one day as something I could add to uivonim and the result was kinda cool; just thought I'd clean it up a bit and share. Not sure if I'll ever end up adding this for-real, but it's at least a little fun to play with ;)

Integrate with Skia GL
The only example that shedded some light on the integration was gtk4 + femtovg. So I mimicked the example, using gtk4-rs and Skia's rust bindings. I had some code similar to the following inside a subclass of GLArea to setup Skia's DirectContext, but it failed:

error[E0432]: unresolved import `gtk::FileDialog`
Hi, I am studying gtk4 with rust, now trying to check examples from https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs/tree/master/examples some of them are building and compiling but text_viewer(cargo run --bin text_viewer) and some others are failing with the error below

How do I use ColumnView ?
I created a demo of using column view in gtk4-rs rust here...maybe be a point of reference https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs/tree/master/examples/column_view_datagrid

My (challenging) experience building a window switcher for Ubuntu
To build the UI, I used gtk-rs. My experience with this library was quite pleasant; it was easy to use and there were a lot of examples. However, it isn't as widely used as, say, React, so it was difficult to find answer on Stack Overflow (I come from a JavaScript/Typescript background).

Are there any good UI/GUI libraries out there?
There are good GTK bindings for Rust (https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs and https://github.com/Relm4/Relm4)

GTK4 + Rust + GLArea: How do I set the opengl version?
I've been following this example to get something that works for whatever the default opengl context version is, however, I can't figure out how to request a specific opengl version on context creation: https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs/tree/master/examples/glium_gl_area

Rust for Linux can be compiled with GCC codegen(only few hacks are needed)
gtk4-rs itself feels like it takes very little time to build: https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs but when you add up all the time to building all examples afterwards, it's about the same and provides the equivalent of capabilities of QT(C++ and RUST) so yes it's going to take time to build.

The state of Rust GUI libraries
The gtk-rs project provides safe Rust bindings for GNOME stack-based libraries, like the GTK 3 and GTK 4 libraries. The gtk3-rs and gtk4-rs libraries provides GTK 3 and GTK 4 functionalities, respectively.
