  • slint

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

    • Disclaimer: I work for Slint

    Indeed we are actively working on all of those topics:

    Accessibility support in Slint is improving. We just merged the initial AccessKit integration into our winit backend -- https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/pull/2865

    IDE integration - our VSCode extension is pretty stable these days (https://slint.dev/get-started#vscode) and we also support integrating into other IDEs via LSP (https://slint.dev/get-started#other-ide)

    Graphical tooling for UI/UX designers - our current prototype www.slintpad.com needs more work to become an easy Drag n'Drop editor for UI/UX designers -- but we are on the right path to achieve that :)

  • flutter_rust_bridge

    Flutter/Dart <-> Rust binding generator, feature-rich, but seamless and simple.

    • Not a Flutter Dev, but have you tried 'flutter_rust_bridge' [0]. Seems provide some interop between flutter and rust and looks like a popular and active project. I'm native mobile dev and just curious about this kind of interop myself. If it's seamless then looks like good balance to do mobile front-end in flutter and mobile backend in rust.

  • taffy

    A high performance rust-powered UI layout library

    • While there are a lot of Rust UI frameworks, none of them are really recommended for production use yet. I suspect a few of the will die off and work will coalesce a few once things mature a bit.

    Another nice feature of the Rust UI ecosystem is that lots of it is being built in a modular way. For example I maintain a layout engine [0] library which just does layout and can be easily integrated by anybody creating a UI library. And there a bunch of similar composable libraries covering rendering, text layout, accessibility, window creation, clipboard access, etc.

  • lvgl

    Embedded graphics library to create beautiful UIs for any MCU, MPU and display type.

    • If you need something written in C and very tiny, I recommend LVGL https://lvgl.io/
