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.

- Vizia: A declarative GUI library written in Rust

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.
- GUI development with Rust and GTK 4

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)
- Declarative UI Programming in Rust for Native Applications

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.

lightweight gui for rust
I have recently learned about https://github.com/vizia/vizia and it looks very promising to me

Looking for this. html + css rendering through wgpu.
If you were to implement this yourself, i'd look into either swash or cosmic-text for the text rendering stack (this is one of the things you really don't want to write from the ground up). For accessibility, AccessKit has quickly become the standard for communicating with crossplatform accessibility APIs in rust GUI. lightningcss (or its lower level counterpart cssparser) are both decent options for CSS parsing. Taffy handles some of what browsers offer for a layout engine, but is still being worked on.
- Any suggestion for gpu text rendering?

Font rendering and layout crates
You probably want to take a look at swash.

Bachelor idea to help the rust community
https://github.com/dfrg/swash which does text-shaping and could be built upon
-
I'm giving out microgrants to open source projects for the third year in a row! Brag about your projects here so I can see them, big or small!
swash - A shaping engine that advertises performance comparable to HarfBuzz, and surpassing it in some cases. Tests are in-progress.
-
Whats your favourite open source Rust project that needs more recognition?
swash: a pure Rust shaping engine like Harfbuzz with competitive performance.
- Font introspection, complex text shaping and glyph rendering in Rust
- Text Rendering w/ HarfBuzz, FreeType and OpenGL
