  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • dioxus

    Fullstack GUI library for web, desktop, mobile, and more.

  • At a very early stage but I’m looking forward to dioxus-tui which is react like.

  • tui-rs

    Discontinued Build terminal user interfaces and dashboards using Rust

  • tui-rs seems to be the only good one that is active and it is nowhere near as easy to use as BubbleTea

  • 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.

  • crossterm

    Cross platform terminal library rust

  • crossterm looks great but it seems to be incredibly low level

  • Cursive

    A Text User Interface library for the Rust programming language

  • cursive

  • console_engine

    A simple terminal framework to draw things and manage user input

  • console_engine

  • zi

    An incremental, declarative library for building terminal user interfaces in Rust. (by mcobzarenco)

  • Zi is a declarative elm-style terminal UI library https://github.com/mcobzarenco/zi

  • ez_term

    Terminal UI framework based on templates and focused on simplicity.

  • I've noticed the same thing. Tui-rs looks awesome but as you said is not so easy to use. I've decided to try and create an easy-to-use framework myself (EzTerm), and noticed that the borrow-checker definitely introduces some challenges compared to creating a (T)UI framework in some other languages.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
