Rust bindings for webview, a tiny cross-platform library to render web-based GUIs for desktop applications (by Boscop)
Slint
Slint is a toolkit to efficiently develop fluid graphical user interfaces for any display: embedded devices and desktop applications. We support multiple programming languages, such as Rust, C++ or JavaScript. [Moved to: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint] (by sixtyfpsui)

Rust Webkit2GTK Ping Pong Example
I want get a pong back from the app process, but I cant figure out how. I do aware of Boscop Webview and webview_official, but I want to work with Webkit2GTK to have more controls. I really appreciate your kind help.

Any stable crate to develop a cross-platform Rust desktop app?
I prefer Boscop/web-view since it's much less effort to get up and running for use with developing an application written in Rust.
-
Rustpad: Collaborative text editing app using Tokio + Warp
Given that this can be self-hosted, any thoughts on making a desktop app with https://github.com/Boscop/web-view
-
Electron substitute in rust?
I haven't used it, but some others have recommended webview in the past: https://github.com/Boscop/web-view

Making really personalised UI interfaces
As an alternative you can wrap this html ui using web-view or tauri. This would be like a lightweight alternative to electron.
-
Tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
That would be https://github.com/Boscop/web-view

Rust GUI like Python's Tkinter
There's also the option of using something like webview, with webasm and a framework like yew it makes for relatively light and easy to implement GUIs, without having to write any javascript.

Will Qt support the Rust language by default? (just curiosity)
As an anecdote, the three top contributors to sixtyfps are ex-Qt people. I think it is not anecdotal that there is at least some degree of overlap and competition between Rust and C++, and that this is a market that surely The Qt Company is watching.

BeeWare – write Python, run as native everywhere
SixtyFPS (https://sixtyfps.io/) is in progress for Rust, but it is still early days. It also does not technically use a native toolkit (it uses Qt), but I believe that might be on roadmap. For traditional GUI apps, I think the lack of a table or tree widget is the most limiting for the time being. They have stated they intend to remedy that.

What are the best GUI libraries for a potentially “serious”/large project?
The most promising GUI hasn't been posted here, SixtyFPS. It's in it's early stages and not FOSS, but it's built by some ex-QT cats and has a lot of potential.
-
Is there a reliable and documented GUI library out there?
People have been recommending https://sixtyfps.io/ to me.

Is it worth writing a GUI toolkit in Rust?
There is already a project to make a Qt like GUI toolkit in Rust: https://sixtyfps.io/ It is really similar to Qt https://sixtyfps.io/releases/0.1.5/docs/rust/sixtyfps/index.html
-
Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
People are doing that too. https://sixtyfps.io/ is basically a Qt clone in Rust, actually developed by previous Qt developers.
-
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!
spdlog, a pretty useful and more and more commonly used logging library for C++.\ SixtyFPS, an emerging GUI library for Rust, but you can use it in multiple languages. It uses OpenGL or Qt currently as backend (well, it's a new library and they wanted two from the get-go to make sure their abstractions are done right/well enough). They started a company this year for it too.

Why I choose Electron even when I wanted to use QT
Just so some are not aware, there's a new project called sixtyfps by some people who were in the Qt world for long. I didn't take a deep dive into it but it looks promising.
