  1. wordle

    wordle inspired short little math puzzle game (not actually like wordle, just a working title that stuck) (by officiallyaninja)

    well I'll admit the game isn't very impressive. it's just meant to be something you spend 5 minutes playing once https://github.com/officiallyaninja/wordle

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

  3. pancurses

    A Rust curses library, supports Unix platforms and Windows

    You’re tempting me to add wasm support to a library like this: https://github.com/ihalila/pancurses

  4. tauri-bevy-svelte-app

    If you’re not averse to a bit of web (html, css, JavaScript) in your app then https://tauri.app/ can let you create very rich UI’s easily. I’ve used it with https://svelte.dev/ as a web front end framework, and even managed to integrate it with Bevy. I haven’t updated it recently, but you might find it interesting: https://github.com/pumbers/tauri-bevy-svelte-app

  5. tauri

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

  6. Svelte

    web development for the rest of us

  7. bracket-lib

    The Roguelike Toolkit (RLTK), implemented for Rust.

    I think having to use a terminal is the scary part for many people. rltk/bracket-lib can be used to get a similar look and feel if that's what's important, but it is geared toward roguelikes.

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.
