I've created my first GUI in Rust. I made a wrapper for #paperage, which is an application for saving encrypted secrets on paper.
I had to tweak paper-age a bit, but now you can use it in the browser using #WASM.
It's still a bit messy, but it should work. And of course, there's #nix support.
You can find it on GitHub here: https://github.com/renesat/paper-age-gui
P.S. Thanks for the idea, @iuvi. You can start testing 
i've been using relm4 for a while and i'm really happy with it. i love the #elm architecture - your app's state is a struct (or object), your user interface is rendered by a function that takes your state and returns a tree of widgets (or similar), widgets emit messages, messages modify state. i find it so much cleaner and easier to wrap my head around than traditional imperative methods or MVVM.
what are some other nice cross-platform #desktop app frameworks that use this architecture? i'm mainly familiar with #relm4 and #iced in #rust. 
Added gamma correction, and the ability to hook into the Vulkan context with your own widget.
In this case, it renders to the whole framebuffer, but brightens the widget's area.
The widget is like any other, so it requests a redraw every 16ms, just like any other animated widget via a `Subscription`.

I was waiting for #cosmic to release a stable version but it is already fantastic. I'm really impressed by how beautiful and snappy it is turning out.
Kudos to the developers who for achieving so much in such a short time. 
Text seems to work, and the analytical AA was trivial to implement (just smooth-step the opacity value based on your distance at the edges).
I'm currently playing around with the borders by exaggerating them. Those big borders look kinda cute 
Working on an Iced renderer for my Vulkan layer "MarpII".
So far, I got the quad renderer working (including rounded corners). Batches of quads are also cached, so re-rendering the same layout doesn't cost that much.
pub fn update(&mut self, message: Message) -> Task<Message> {
match message {
Message::Count=> {
let (task, h) = Task::perform(
count(),
Message::ScriptEnded,
).abortable();
self.abort_js = Some(h.abort_on_drop());
return task;
}
Message::Stop => {
if let Some(_) = &self.abort_js {
self.abort_js = None;
}
}
...
}
async fn count(
) -> Result<(), MyError> {
for i in 0..10 {
println!("{i}");
sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
}
Ok(())
}
Using #iced #rust
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but the task don't abort.
Just added option to import theme from .ron files to Quick Web Apps!
So basically, we can go to https://cosmic-themes.org download desired theme, and use it with Quick Web Apps :)
I'm trying to make #rustyscript work with #iced-rs but it doesn't seems to want to play nice.
Specifically I want to need able to run a js script with rustyscript and keep the option to stop the script when I want. But Rustyscript Runtime doesn't play well with iced-rs' own concurrency mechanisms.
The other difficulty is I need to register rust function in the js runtime, and I don't find a way to do that using Workers.
I'm basically running circle around the problem... I got something to compile but the js execution thread crashes with this message :
Cannot start a runtime from within a runtime. This happens because a function (likeblock_on) attempted to block the current thread while the thread is being used to drive asynchronous tasks.
Quick Web Apps now have new layout of app editor, imho using this `section` widget from settings is better approach. I like it :D

Been slowly working on a #libcosmic app. It's a presentation app for my ministry and church. I originally wrote it in #C++ and #QML, but have since rewritten part of the backend to #rust with the help of #CXX-QT. This still gave me a really tricky system and I decided to investigate rust ui libraries. Seeing #system76 develop #cosmic in rust with #iced, I decided to try it, and it's working quite nice thus far. Some rough edges, but I can't wait to see it come to fruition.
In his online book, Iced (the GUI library) explains that the Model-View-Update design pattern fits well with Rust because it is suited to purely functional languages. And libcosmic (based on Iced) in its own book goes even further: MVU adheres to Rust's “aliasing XOR mutability” rule².
BTW I realize that MVU is not limited to simple apps if associated with an async mechanism.

My Week in Code #15 is up. Past week mostly concentrated around updates in BeagleBoard Rust Imager.
strangely cant find a github project of #diy #opensource #rustlang wrist watches, ui was probably written in #iced but im not sure. do you remember the project's name?
Installed #cosmic de on my nixos workstation today because I've been trying to build an app using #libcosmic and #iced. Wow! #system76 should be very proud of what they are building. Its going to be awesome, sure it crashed on me many times, but the way it works is honestly super cool!
