Tangential, how does slint fare compared to Druid/egui(?)
- the__alchemist 5mo agoI'm curious as well. My understanding is one notable differencse, exemplified here, is that Slint can work on embedded devices / no-std.
- nicoburns 5mo agoMost of the Rust GUI frameworks will run on something like a Kindle with 100's of MBs of RAM. Slint is the main one that will go smaller than that (it will run on actual MCU if you need it to).
- airstrike 5mo agoTangential reply, but Druid has been abandoned. The spirit lives on as Xilem, but that doesn't have much traction either. It's very... exploratory in nature. I'm partial to iced, which to me is the best GUI library in Rust by far. The Discord is super active if you have questions. https://iced.rs/ https://iced.rs/
- pjmlp 5mo agoSlint is backed by a company that sponsors its development, in model similar to Qt.
- airstrike 5mo agoFor the record, so is iced, effectively.
- pjmlp 5mo agoAh, Cryptowatch, and what do they understand about selling GUIs?
- airstrike 5mo agoIt's Kraken, not Cryptowatch, as the latter was acquired. Who's supposed to be selling GUIs here? Your comment goes against several HN guidelines. As the 15th highest karma on this site, I'm sure you could do better.
- pjmlp 5mo agoThe remark "in a model similar to Qt" assumes it is a software company selling a GUI framework, while offering part of it for free. What I see there is a crypto fund that most likely cares about how iced fits into their own use cases first. I seldom read those, by the way.
- rat9988 5mo agoYour answer's tone is weird.
