I'm using EGUI for a all-in-one molecular viewer / CAD. It's like PyMol, Coot, GROMACS and VMD in one. If this is trivial, I would like to see what you consider to be non-trivial!
There are parts of the rust ecosystem that are only built for trivial apps (And demos, blog posts etc), but GUI is not one.
- bmitc 1y agoIs that application by any chance open source?
- the__alchemist 1y agoYep - https://github.com/David-OConnor/daedalus/ https://github.com/David-OConnor/daedalus/
- bmitc 1y agoAwesome! Thank you! And quite amazing work, so thank you for sharing. This will be fun to dive into. I'm generally liking egui but have just recently been using it, so I'm still new at it.
- swiftcoder 1y agoLook, your application is certainly impressive, but it's extremely basic from the perspective of a UI toolkit. - It's not multi-window, so it doesn't have to integrate with a bunch of the OS window management affordances. - It doesn't have any complicated typesetting or rich text editing, so you get to pretty much ignore that whole mess. - Since it's a very visual tool that doesn't make much sense for blind folks, you haven't invested much in accessibility support. - And so on... This is a great use case for EGUI, and EGUI works great in this sort of UI-lite scenario. Whereas I wouldn't want to use it to implement something on the complexity of VSCode/Excel/FireFox.
