Linux version of Warp terminal is here
Hi! I’m Aloke, an engineer at Warp.
I’m really excited to share that Warp is now available on Linux! If you’re interested in trying it out, you can download Warp: https://warp.dev/
Building Warp on Linux was quite an undertaking. Warp uses a custom Rust-based UI framework that we built in house and renders natively on the GPU. To get Warp running on Linux, we built a version of our UI framework that supports winit [1] as a windowing backend. We also built a version of our renderer that uses wgpu [2]. Reducing complexity by using these well-supported, cross platform, frameworks let us bootstrap a version of Linux quicker than expected and should make it easier to build Warp for other platforms (like Windows).
Please let me know what you think! Happy to answer any questions, either about the product or about technical challenges.

That's a bit shortsighted given that there is an active discussion about reducing the interior mutability.

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)

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.

A 2024 Plea for Lean Software
I feel that we would've had better tooling for writing performant GUI apps today if electron JS never took off.
It certainly has its place, and I laud the authors for their efforts, but seeing how every startup is using electron for their native applications, I have little hope for lean software.
At the end of the day, developers need to finance their projects. No other toolchain out there [1] is going to give you the flexibility, development speed, and freedom to develop beautiful looking desktop apps using the muscle memory you trained while writing webpages. Of course, you can write the same application in Qt, GLFW, whatever, but I don't think anyone will disagree that it's much slower to build and prototype responsive UIs with these tools.
[1] Wry and Tauri (https://tauri.app/) might be noteworthy, but I don't know how much of a difference they make, as the runtime is still JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Ask HN: What's the stack for your "home-cooked meal" apps?
- Desktop/Mobile wrapping: [Tauri](https://tauri.app)
I know building native apps with web technologies is a bit lame since it's a glorified web view on native devices and thus is somewhat limited, but as a web developer this allows me to play in those worlds a bit more.
I've tried to learn Swift/Kotlin but haven't been able to get as far as I have with JavaScript yet.
