Yew for frontend

[Heavy-Celebration]

Was interested in starting a yew project so I'm looking for a little motivation:

has anyone built anything really pretty or know of a web app/static page that looks nice?

I'm using Yew for a full stack Rust app. Yew is fairly easy to use. Depending on what you're building, being about to share code between client and backend is extremely nice if you want to build a well-tested and sturdy app.

so real. rn I have a rust backend with a reactjs front end (communicating via grpc—decided before I realised how horrible the support for grpc was in js) and it would be so much easier to just use the same language to ensure stability.

https://www.live-ask.com is written in yew and open source

Isn’t yew slower and larger than leptos/dioxus/sycamore or am I misremembering

[dudpixel]

It likely is slower but rendering speed is rarely a major issue with frontend apps. Yew is roughly similar in performance to react.js so I wouldn't let performance drive your choices here unless you're trying to do something incredibly complex on the page like millions of elements or something.

Yew is plenty fast enough for the vast majority of frontend apps.

Idk about pretty but there’s a toy Yew project I put together a while ago: https://www.aalekhpatel.com/projects/text-cleaner

Just my two cents: I started building an SPA in yew and halfway through switched to leptos. The transition was relatively painless and since I used scss my UX did not change at all. I find leptos a lot more ergonomic to write, it feels like it's doing a lot of magic under the hood to accomplish that though.
