  For desktop UI: Rust

  Okay, what crate do you use for UI, that it is your goto?

    I have used egui in two projects now. It’s super easy to write, but the immediate mode does put some limitations on what you can do.

    Iced seems to be pretty good as well, but having to put every single user interaction into a message enum sounds tedious.

    I use slint. You can also use the rust bindings to GTK. There are a list of Rust GUI libs/frameworks at areweguiyet.com

    It allows compiling to WASM too and being embedded in websites, but I haven’t had time to figure that out yet.

      How do you like the language to define the layout?

      I’m always wary of DSLs.

        It’s quite alright and I find it intuitive. For my needs, simple, fast UIs with async support, it’s perfectly alright.

        The biggest problem I have is creating completely new UI elements (or components, as they are called in slint) from scratch. You can combine elements and make new ones, but if you want to create something completely new for example some new animation, or render graphs, or something, you’re going to have a bad time.

      Sorry, I didn’t understand that reminder. Please try again.

      Make sure you’re including the interval until you want to be reminded.

      Example: "@RemindMe@programming.dev about my dentist appointment in 2 hours"
      Example: "@RemindMe@programming.dev Message me in 5 minutes"
