Not really. qBittorent is built on Qt (thus the prefix), and has a hand-rolled webui in pure html + css + js (with a couple of helper libraries, but no heavy frameworks):

broadway - A while back I created a little POC for running it inside docker which worked really well.
https://github.com/moondev/gtk3-docker
My use case was running a browser inside a browser to easily interact with Kubernetes clusterip services without needing to port forward or proxy.
Another awesome example: running virt-manager to run a vm via the gtk virt-viewer (and interacting with it through the browser)

If they used https://wgpu.rs/ they would get directx and metal for free (:
Couple times in the past I have implemented GPU-targeted GUI renderers, here’s an example: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac?tab=readme-ov-file#vector-... https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/blob/master/Vrmac/Draw/VAA...
2D graphics have very little in common with game engines. The problem is very different in many regards. In 2D, you generally have Bezier and other splines on input, large amount of overdraw, textures coming from users complicate VRAM memory management. OTOH, game engines are solving hard problem which are irrelevant to 2D renderers, like dynamic lighting, volumetric effects, and dynamic environment.
Can you give examples of better JS renderers?
What is needed for performance of traditional GUI app rendering? I'm particularly interested in table rendering. Glide and Perspective are both canvas based renderers, but I haven't dug into the internals.

The xdg-portal attempt was misguided and I don't beleive anyone is pursuing it at this point. Ideally drm-leasing would be managed by the login manager, allowing multiple compositors to lease connectors and run independently on other monitors, as well as being used for VR headsets. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29078.
Sidenote: I hacked the wayland protocol implementation for gnome into working at least for SteamVR, but at least with AMD gpus there is some serious bug preventing the card from performing properly. It basically throttles itself for no reason and never hits the refresh rates needed for smooth VR, especially since there is no asynchronous reprojection at the moment. So while ideally the drm-leasing problem would be solved already there are other even more important problems to solve with linux VR for now.
There's Greenfield, an HTML5 Wayland compositor. https://github.com/udevbe/greenfield
There's some fancy bridging modes to run apps in a browser, but the author has also been working on a way to make wasm Wayland apps run directly in the browser tol.
