  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
