  • slint

    Slint is a declarative GUI toolkit to build native user interfaces for Rust, C++, or JavaScript apps.

    We are having a server using the Language Server Protocol (LSP) which many editor, including Emacs, should support. I'm not a Emacs user myself, but if anyone wants to try and contribute instructions on https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/blob/master/tools/lsp/README.md , they're very welcome. Feel free to submit bug reports if something doesn't work alright with emacs.

  • webview

    Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).

    unfortunately there is no easy way to get a window handle to a drawing area in the way slint is build. It would be fairly easy to use it with libs that can render into those. Besides video libs like libmpv/libvlc (that can render into opengl contexts i think, but i am unsure if this is very beneficial if you copy things around) you could "easily" embed website via e.g webview which works quite well in fltk-rs. I wonder how long it would take slint to be able to do this because, for whatever reason, i often need to do this in my gui projects (video + websites)

  • 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.

  • tauri

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

    If using webview, Tauri is easily the best web/JS and Rust implementation I’ve used.
