  • xi-editor

    A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.

    Have a look at what Lapce uses. The editor is coming along nicely, and iirc, they use the Xi editor as a plug-in.

  • lapce

    Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust

  • 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.

  • rust-monaco

    Rust WASM bindings for the Monaco Editor

    there is rust binding for that rust-monaco, support yew as well. don't really like how they document the library.

  • visual-editor

    Rich text editor for Flutter based on Delta format (Quill fork)

    Flutter also isn't great for text editors, but there are a few implementations like visual-editor for formatted text that's acceptable. Also, the xterm package is pretty amazing from its capabilities (even runs full vim!).

  • xterm.dart

    💻 xterm.dart is a fast and fully-featured terminal emulator for Flutter, with support for mobile and desktop platforms.

  • xilem

    An experimental Rust native UI framework

    Yesterday I attended the talk about xilem, which plans to be pretty much the same as Flutter/ReactNative/SwiftUI, but in Rust and using wgpu. That might be a solution in the future, but it's just at the prototype level at the moment, unfortunately.

  • theia

    Eclipse Theia is a cloud & desktop IDE framework implemented in TypeScript.

    You should also take a look at Theia, which provides in some respects (e.g., graphical plugins) a more powerful alternative to the VSCode editing shell.

  • 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.

  • stable-diffusion-webui

    Stable Diffusion web UI

    No need for a prototype, that's how stable-diffusion-webui works.
