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.

AvaloniaUI: Create Multi-Platform Apps with .NET
This source code:
https://github.com/servo/webrender/blob/master/wr_glyph_rast...
suggests to me that the glyph rasterization (which is the CPU-limiting factor for text rendering) in WebRender (which is the new FF 93+ GPU-accelerated rendering engine) is implemented in Rust and to be run on CPU.

Is RUST a good choice for building web browsers?
Both Servo and Fifefox make use of webrender, which is an awesome piece of tech and is well suited to render a web page. Some GUI projects attempted to use webrender directly as well, like Azul and moxie-native

Releasing Dioxus v0.1 - a new Rust GUI toolkit for Web, Desktop, Mobile, SSR, TUI that emphasizes developer experience
Hi, what do you think about using webrender instead of wry on desktop? That is, instead of a full featured browser, just the bare minimum to render the DOM.

Rust: Does the published crate match the upstream source?
This is in the context of rust.
> it adds a line to a `go.sum` while with a hash of the code at the version specified
Cargo.lock also contains a checksum
> You can distribute your code without a copy of the dependency
Also true in rust, and the default way of using rust.
> If the hashes are different, an error is thrown.
Also true in rust.
For an example of what this looks like: https://github.com/servo/webrender/blob/54b725be37f13b166946...
You haven't described anything different between go and rust in your comment since every feature you've pointed out applies equally to both.

Iced: A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
Yes! This is because web browsers use the platform text input stack
Browsers are a great example of cross-platform UI, because they sprinkle platform-native widgets throughout the canvas that they render. Which reminds me that people were trying to use webrender[1] to build native apps in Rust.

Browser be slow
What more can be done, besides site isolation and ASLR+DEP? Oh wait, Mozilla rewrote the damn renderer in a better language than C(++), that seems like a good way to prevent issues.

Tauri CRUD Boilerplate
Hi, dear Tauri! Long time no see. I published my first post, Developing a Desktop Application via Rust and NextJS. The Tauri Way almost a year ago. Since then, Tauri has become stronger. I'm happy about that! And now, I am very pleased to make a useful contribution to the Tauri community. As a full-stack developer, I frequently face situations where I need to start a DB-based UI project as fast as possible. It's stressful if I need to start the project from 100% scratch. I prefer to keep some boilerplates on hand, which will save me time and nerves and will be the subject of this article.

Show HN: Floro – Visual Version Control for static assets and strings
Hey Thanks!
Just electron & vite. I might actually migrate off electron, Tauri (https://tauri.app/) seems to be getting more stable and it's gotten great reviews.
I think this is the boilerplate I used though https://github.com/cawa-93/vite-electron-builder.

3D and 2D: Testing out my cross-platform graphics engine
Well the great thing about WebAssembly is that you can port QT or anything else to be at a layer below -- thanks to WebAssembly Interface Types[0] and the Component Model specification that works underneath that.
To over-simplify, the Component Model manages language interop, and WIT constrains the boundaries with interfaces.
IMO the problem here is defining a 90% solution for most window, tab, button, etc management, then building embeddings in QT, Flutter/Skia, and other lower level engines. Getting a good cross-platform way of doing data passing, triggering re-renders, serializing window state is probably the meat of the interesting work.
On top of that, you really need great UX. This is normally where projects fall short -- why should I use this solution instead of something like Tauri[2] which is excellent or Electron?

Tauri seemed like the "thing" I should switch to because everybody loves Rust (heh), and because it ships significantly smaller apps.

Tauri - Rust, Js and Native Apps
Today I'm talking about Tauri! Do you know all the various tools that allow you to develop native applications starting from web languages? They often need an intermediate compilation, in the middle of which you end up encountering various problems not always transparent and directly solvable with a language mostly detached from native development. On the other hand, there's still the ease of developing attractive and easily usable interfaces, which are more difficult to develop with low level languages.
What are some alternatives?
