Iced

“Rust for desktop is good enough these days, with GPUI or iced”

“Iced lacks on widgets, it has just some basic ones”

“the development aspect has been great. Biggest issues are around distributing on Windows”

“afaict iced and xilem are probably the best current options”

“I find the framework very performant and the resulting program easy to prototype and expand upon.”

“which to me is the best GUI library in Rust by far”

“I would strongly prefer something more lightweight like Slint, Iced or egui”

“Write it only once, e.g. in iced, and compile it for every Plattform.”

“I love iced for its simplicity and flexibility”

“Price to pay is building the UI is bit complex as it doesn't hold your hand, unforgiving, and not native.”

“surprisingly mature in every aspect I've tried, except the documentation, which is severely lacking”

“The Elm Pattern is the best part about iced.”

“as an iced user, personally I'd prefer to write iced and use something like sycamore to build for the web”

“Definitely use Iced.rs, no one cares about it's early pre-1.0 state. It has good fundamentals and is easy to use.”

“the developer is very open about it being a personal project”

“Iced has gone through several rewrites, as far as I can tell”

“lacking basic things from more mature libraries (unsurprisingly, since it's still early)”

“Iced seems really promising, however, it's a passion project by a single developer.”

“Custom widgets aren’t particularly hard to do in iced, but I wish some of those common cases would be committed back”

“iced for a nice architecture but you have to roll all your own widgets”

“I love iced and wrote a decent amount of code using it”

“looks nice and seemed to work fairly well. No virtualised lists though.”

“Iced's UI abstraction needs to be good enough that you're not fighting platform-specific behaviors constantly”

“If you add 10,000 counters, it won't increase the ram.”

“So if you don't need GPU acceleration that may be more to your liking.”

“same slow startup ~2sec as before and ~70M ram vs a native simple window app”

“after using Iced, IMO this is probably one of the best gui models”

“still worth giving up for everything else I gain with iced”

“PopOs's Iced fork was so slow I realised it basically wasn't going to be production ready for non Pop distros anytime soon.”

“IMO, both suffer from having very slow release cadence”

“simplicity to Iced being pure rust managed through cargo that I enjoy”

“the iced apps have taken less time to develop more features with fewer bugs (and no segfaults).”

“iced would be a few seconds (as also noted in the issue linked), but that's still way closer to the Electron range”

“My iced apps startup much faster than the Qt(Pyside) and Electron apps they replaced”

“Not having a set release cadence and it more or less being on the whims of the one maintainer”

“startup is blazingly slow (one of the big issues of all those awful electron apps which the native frameworks can supposedly avoid)”

“Iced is the only Rust toolkit that I track that solves the architecture part upfront.”

“Iced is a wonderful dead-simple framework”

“Iced is a phenomenal and well-thought out API that is a wonder to work with.”

“Iced is not there yet, but it is the native GUI toolkit of the Cosmic desktop.”
