  • slint

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

  • I think Slint https://slint-ui.com/ is the best we have

  • gtk4-rs

    Rust bindings of GTK 4

  • There are good GTK bindings for Rust (https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs and https://github.com/Relm4/Relm4)

  • 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.

  • Relm4

    Build truly native applications with ease!

  • egui

    egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native

  • tauri

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

  • Tauri and/or Electron, for web devs who want to make their site installable so it's more fancy (I'm mostly joking and being intentionally mean), the first one takes much less space and ram but is still slow

  • dioxus

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

  • Since nobody mentioned Dioxius yet, I'll do it.

  • lapce

    Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust

  • I'm using egui, and it is easy to pick up, but you might be better served by druid. It's the ui that lapce is built on, so it's definitely capable.

  • 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.
