  • nannou

    A Creative Coding Framework for Rust.

    For example, I'm a big fan of nannou. It supports WebGPU, so I think it runs on the web (but I haven't tested it).

  • lexical

    Lexical is an extensible text editor framework that provides excellent reliability, accessibility and performance.

    The libraries I saw are either intended for small WYSIWYG writing or source code. Facebook's Lexical looked promising, but I tested it with several thousand words and it screeched to a halt.

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

  • Monaco Editor

    A browser based code editor

  • wpfui

    WPF UI provides the Fluent experience in your known and loved WPF framework. Intuitive design, themes, navigation and new immersive controls. All natively and effortlessly.

    Use something more third party like WPF + WPFUI for a modern interface, yet supporting custom title bars across operating systems. In WPFUI's case you put a StackPanel of wpfui:Buttons (for example) within a wpfui:TitleBar's Header. The major upside here is that you can use some incredible WPF controls thanks to it heritage. Like AvalonEdit -- your app can with minimum fuss support a text editor with built-in markdown highlighting, line numbering support, regex search/replace and much more. WPF also has markdown controls or WebView2 support in case you want to pluck in a web based Markdown preview backed by Javascript.
