## What it is
Conrod is an easy-to-use, 2D immediate-mode GUI library written entirely in Rust, providing a widget-based toolkit with backends for winit and graphics libraries. The original maintainer has stepped down and the project is no longer maintained, with egui recommended as a replacement.

## Use cases
- build a 2D GUI in Rust
- create desktop app interfaces with widgets
- immediate mode UI for Rust games
- render custom widgets in Rust
- build a UI with winit backend

## When to choose
- you need a pure-Rust immediate-mode GUI and can maintain it yourself
- you're working on legacy code already using conrod

## When to avoid
- starting a new Rust GUI project - use egui instead
- you need maintained, actively developed GUI tooling
- you need long-term support or bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, gui
- domain: graphics, cross-platform, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: immediate-mode, widgets, 2d-gui, unmaintained, winit, desktop
