  • Electron substitute in rust?

    I've had some success using aclro for a small project, though it's not quite the same as Electron.

    I prefer alcro for most use-cases. It uses any Chromium-based browser which the user has already installed and therefore also doesn't need to ship any bloat but at the same time allows you to use modern web features and supports direct interaction between JS-Rust via the Chromium debugging protocol (which the crate handles seamlessly in the background).
  • What does the community need right now?
    2 projects | /r/rust | 8 Feb 2021
    For the only real GUI project I ever did in Rust I used alcro which is basically like Electron but avoids the bloat of shipping an extra instance of Chrome by using an already installed Chromium-based browser (which the new Edge on Win10 conveniently is). I liked it quite a bit, mainly because it's very simple and lightweight and I already know how to make nice GUIs quickly with HTML/CSS/JS and they are much more flexible and powerful than most native GUIs. But of course, it's not really an option if you want a professional native-feeling look and/or need it to work without any issues on all systems.
  • What's the easiest way to do video playback in Rust?
    1 project | /r/rust | 1 Feb 2021
    Not sure if this is the ideal solution but alcro might work for this. It's basically a bit like Electron apps but it uses an already installed Chromium browser to avoid the whole bloat of shipping and extra copy of Chrome. I used it recently in a project and it works quite well. I guess it might be a bit overkill for your use case but it shouldn't be too hard to get Chromium to play a video. The only issue is that it requires users to have a Chromium based browser installed but since you seem to be targeting Windows this shouldn't be an issue since it works with Edge.
