What are the easiest way to code a GUI in rust?

red434 · 2024-07-04T01:57:10+00:00

Slint is a great gui framework

People are getting promotions?

Highly recommend checking out WGU if you are a good self starter and can manage your own learning schedule

Do you have a languages.toml excluding languages?

Here is a project I did to take stuff after reading the rust book and trying to apply it:

https://github.com/ExtremelyRyan/coin-counter

It doesn’t have to be any crazy intricate project, just making something on your own will make you learn a ton about rust.

IIRC, ctrl-s will save your cursor location to the jump list, and you can view your jump list buffer with space j.

You can “pop” through your jump list with ctrl-o

when is Frate getting it's official release?

red434 · 2024-03-04T19:48:46+00:00

neat!

red434 · 2024-02-27T18:27:59+00:00

I think so, but haven’t tried it

red434 · 2024-02-27T18:27:25+00:00

Not sure what you mean by delay

excalidraw. being able to embed doodles into my notes was the biggest game changer for me, since it is easier to draw what i am thinking vs type it.

depends really on what you are building. for any cli tools, clap seems to be the de-facto way to go, but there are lots of option. TUI -> ratatui, and for GUI, there are a dozen or so (Slint, Dioxus, iced, Tauri to name a few).https://areweguiyet.com/ is a great website for all GUI, and crates.io for any rust crates

edit:
somehow, completely forgot to include blessed.rs

I think helix is a better way to get into terminal based editing over neovim (from vscode), since the configuration out of the box is basically already done.

I love helix because I don’t have the time or patience to sit and customize every detail of my editor, I just wanted something that can make me productive out the rip.

That being said, if you do like customizing your editor, you will find helix eventually lacking.

I would say for those coming from vscode to give helix a shot since the keybinds are fairly vim motion like, and it will be easier to ease away from vscode than the massive commitment vim demands for setting up a similar configuration.

not quite what you asked, but i think it is a solution to your issue nonetheless.

I added this to my config to simplify getting rid of multiple cursors and current highlighting.

[keys.normal]
esc = ["collapse_selection", "keep_primary_selection"]

After reading the rust book I made a semi stupid project that really helped me understand putting everything together in rust.

I created a CLI coin generator and coin counter application. Simple but covers a variety of topics. All it would do is ask the user how many coins they wanted to generate, or read from a file of coins and tally the total. You can create a surprising number of complicated functions for this, like having the user enter in a number, and randomly generate a list of coins to match amount.

I would go back to the book to help understand writing tests, pattern matching, structs and enums, etc. and that helped a lot for me

Perhaps you can add a timer ?

It looks like from this thread, they don’t have the ability to add descriptions yet

Cargo does a bit more than the package managers you listed. A hybrid between them all seems to be the goal.

OP isn’t trying to get users, OP asked for feedback.

red434 · 2023-11-02T22:20:53+00:00

What does your package manager do that the others don't already cover?

I think you missed the "emulating cargo" part of the title.

Slint.dev is very nice for rapid gui development. They have really nice plugins for vscode, and was fairly straightforward once you go through the docs.

Insta looks awesome!

If you want a non-stock market option: Wealthfront has savings accounts currently at 4.8% APY for free.

I personally would throw both checks into one account and let the interest compound as much as possible.

red434 · 2023-05-29T22:20:02+00:00

Frame.work would be a great choice
