## What it is
A Rust framework for building Flutter desktop applications where the UI is written in Dart/Flutter and the backend logic in Rust. It ships with a cargo-flutter CLI supporting hot-reloading during development and AppImage builds for distribution.

## Use cases
- build desktop apps with flutter and rust
- write app backend logic in rust with a flutter ui
- hot-reload a flutter desktop app during development
- package a flutter desktop app as an appimage
- create a flutter rust project from a template

## When to choose
- you want a Flutter UI with Rust backend logic on desktop
- you need hot-reloading while developing a Rust+Flutter app
- you target Linux desktop distribution via AppImage

## When to avoid
- you need a mature, actively maintained solution - the project is WIP and releases have stalled
- you target mobile or web platforms
- you prefer established alternatives like flutter_rust_bridge or Tauri

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: desktop-framework, gui, cli
- domain: cross-platform, desktop-applications, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: flutter, dart, hot-reload, appimage, wip, linux, desktop
