  1. slint

    Slint is an open-source declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, JavaScript, or Python apps.

    If you are concerned about RAM usage: You should check out slint. It works great for desktop apps, using graphics acceleration and all that, but it scales all the way down to micro controllers with some hundred of kilobytes of RAM.

  2. InfluxDB

  3. iced_taffy

    Library for using Taffy layout with the Iced GUI framework. It currently provides a single Grid component for 2D grid layout.

    I've been working on more powerful layout (Flexbox and CSS Grid) for Iced based on Taffy. It's going to be a while until it's production ready as it has required relatively significant changes to Taffy to allow it to integrate with Iced, but if you're willing to live on the bleeding edge then there's an experimental CSS Grid widget available here: https://github.com/nicoburns/iced_taffy

  4. tauri

    Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop and mobile applications with a web frontend.

    Tauri is an interesting option too https://tauri.app/

  5. druid

    A data-first Rust-native UI design toolkit. (by linebender)

    Druid should be good for most cases, it has a lot of built-in widget for the UI, you can even make a custom widget with a canvas-alike painting API.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
