  3. NFHTTP

    A cross platform C++ HTTP library that interfaces natively to other platforms.

    This is your friendly reminder that Spotify went out of their way to write a networking library that wraps platform specific network libraries since iOS will have special-ish behaviors that you lose if you aren’t using their stack.

    I am the biggest proponent of Rust where possible but I always feel like this is worth mentioning when people bring up moving all shared logic for mobile platforms to Rust. It would be great to see it reqwest/ureq/etc could have a feature flag to use these behind the scenes:

    Also: if anybody from Spotify is reading I would love to know why it’s discontinued and passed to community maintenance. Alternatively, if someone from e.g Apple would weigh in on how much this still matters it would also be welcome.

  4. matrix-rust-sdk

    Matrix Client-Server SDK for Rust

  5. matrix-rich-text-editor

    Discontinued Matrix Rich Text Editor

    * https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rich-text-editor

    The apps themselves are written in Swift and Kotlin respectively, but it’s notable that they can now do this duplicate work much more sustainably because the bulk of their app code lives in a unified Rust layer.

  6. Rocket

    A web framework for Rust.

    Or else you could of course just use https://rocket.rs/

  7. ui

    Rikulo UI is a cross-platform framework for creating amazing Web and mobile applications in Dart and HTML 5. (by rikulo)

    As a counterpoint, the most thoughtfully designed and responsive task management app I've ever used is a Flutter app (http://quire.io) Maybe check it out and see if it changes your mind about what's possible with Flutter.

  8. Avalonia

    Develop Desktop, Embedded, Mobile and WebAssembly apps with C# and XAML. The most popular .NET UI client technology

    > I don't see any other way to go trully multi platform without making separate UI for Android and iOS.
