  • gloss

    Painless 2D vector graphics, animations and simulations. (by benl23x5)

    Ideally, I'd like something like gloss in Haskell.

  • macroquad

    Cross-platform game engine in Rust.

    Check out macroquad and ggez. I made my first Rust game, a snake game, in ggez. I added sound and sprite batches. Macroquad has fast compilation time and can target the web, but macroquad has no sound (for now). It is worth noting that both have a snake example. Here is the ggez snake example. And here is the macroquad snake example. You can compare them to see which one you like.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
