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.

Looking for this. html + css rendering through wgpu.
All of these projects have in common that they use Taffy (the project that I work on!) for box-level layout (which currently gives them block, flexbox, and grid layout) , and are either using or planning to use cosmic-text for text/inline layout. This gives you a decent first approximation of web layout, but it's not perfect and there are major features like float, display: inline-block, position: static, box-sizing: content-box missing. Not to mention that none of these implementations currently resolve CSS selectors, so you are effectively limited to inline styles (if you're interested in something in that direction then you may be interested in https://github.com/vizia/vizia).

Ebou Released 🚀: A (mostly full featured) cross platform desktop Mastodon client written in Rust + Dioxus
Vizia is basically fine-grained reactivity with an Elmish twist, though I haven't used it, so I couldn't say how well it works.

XUL Layout has been removed from Firefox
There are a number of up-and-coming Rust-based frameworks in this niche:
- https://github.com/iced-rs/iced (probably the most usable today)
- https://github.com/vizia/vizia
- https://github.com/marc2332/freya
- https://github.com/linebender/xilem (currently very incomplete but exciting because it's from a team with a strong track record)
What is also exciting to me is that the Rust GUI ecosystem is in many cases building itself up with modular libraries. So while we have umpteen competing frameworks they are to a large degree all building and collaborating on the same foundations. For example, we have:
- https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit (cross-platform window creation)
- https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu (abstraction on top of vulkan/metal/dx12)
- https://github.com/linebender/vello (a canvas like imperative drawing API on top of wgpu)
- https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy (UI layout algorithms)
- https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text (text rendering and editing)
- https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit (cross-platform accessibility APIs)
In many cases there a see https://blessed.rs/crates#section-graphics-subsection-gui for a more complete list of frameworks and foundational libraries)

Cosmic Text: Pure Rust multi-line text handling
I don't think it's actually merged into Iced yet. It is merged into https://github.com/vizia/vizia though.

Floem - yet another new Rust native UI library
Inspired by Xilem, Leptos and rui, Floem aims to be a high performance declarative UI library with minimal effort from the user.

Leveraging Rust and the GPU to render user interfaces at 120 FPS
My rui library can render UIs at 120fps, uses similar SDF techniques (though uses a single shader for all rendering): https://github.com/audulus/rui
Is their GPUI library open source?

Tauri Mobile – Develop Mobile Apps with JavaScript and Rust
I think the jury is still out on whether rust is good or bad for UI. Once rust UI libraries are more mature we'll get a sense of it. There are some advantages of static typing, even for UI (see SwiftUI for example). I'll grant the pickiness of rust can be a challenge. Anyway give us some time to work on stuff.
Here's my effort: https://github.com/audulus/rui

Do you think is it worth to learn gtk4 to use it with rust?
Depending on the scale of your project, I could suggest rui library which is cross platform though it's not related to gtk, https://github.com/audulus/rui, It's inspired by swiftUI

Vector Graphics on GPU
I've done a library for vector graphics on the GPU which works pretty well for my uses:
https://github.com/audulus/vger
and a rust version:
https://github.com/audulus/vger-rs
(which powers my rust GUI library: https://github.com/audulus/rui)
Here's the approach for rendering path fills. From the readme:
> The bezier path fill case is somewhat original. To avoid having to solve quadratic equations (which has numerical issues), the fragment function uses a sort-of reverse Loop-Blinn. To determine if a point is inside or outside, vger tests against the lines formed between the endpoints of each bezier curve, flipping inside/outside for each intersection with a +x ray from the point. Then vger tests the point against the area between the bezier segment and the line, flipping inside/outside again if inside. This avoids the pre-computation of Loop-Blinn, and the AA issues of Kokojima.
It works pretty well, and doesn't require as much preprocessing as the code in the article. Also doesn't require any GPU compute (though I do use GPU compute for some things). I think ultimately the approach in the article (essentially Piet-metal, aka tessellating and binning into tiles) will deliver better performance, and support more primitives, but at greater implementation complexity. I've tried the Piet-metal approach myself and it's tricky! I like the simpler Shadertoy/SDF inspired approach :)

Is it conveninent to make cross-platform GUI softwares using Rust now?
You should look into rui, https://github.com/audulus/rui It is an amazing ui Library for rust
-
Is there a common library for guis used in rust?
Try rui https://github.com/audulus/rui, It's a Swift Type ui
