Looks really interesting and lots of strongly favourable responses in this thread. For those in the know: what’s something like this used for? Where does it fit in to the landscape? Is it a case of filling a specific need in the Rust front-end ecosystem, or something more language and framework agnostic? I’ve very little front end experience - the repo readme went over my head.

Which we hope will appeal to people who might otherwise use something like electron but want something lighter weight. We're also building it in a modular fashion, which we hope will enable the engineering work we're putting to be reused for many other use cases. Many people on this page have proposed rendering to PDF for example, but that's just one use case amongst many!
