vgtk is a declarative desktop UI framework for Rust built on GTK and Gtk-rs. It provides a React/JSX-inspired DSL with virtual DOM diffing and an Elm/Redux-style component model, running on GLib's event loop with async/await support.
Use cases
- build a native desktop app in rust
- declarative gtk ui framework for rust
- elm architecture desktop gui in rust
- cross platform rust gui without embedded browser
- react-style component model for gtk
- async rust desktop application with gtk
When to choose
- you want a declarative, Elm/React-style UI model in Rust on native GTK
- you need cross-platform desktop apps with native look and feel and no browser engine
- you want async/await integrated with the GTK event loop
When to avoid
- you need a framework under active development - the project has seen no releases since early 2022
- you want mobile or web targets rather than desktop
- installing GTK on Windows is too involved for your team
