Rust GUI Library via Flutter

Hi, I made a bridge (https://github.com/fzyzcjy/flutter_rust_bridge v2.0.0) between Flutter and Rust, which auto translates syntaxes like arbitrary types, &mut, async, traits, results, closure (callback), lifetimes, etc. The goal is to make a bridge between the two, seamlessly as if working in one single language. Then, as an example, I showed how to write Rust applications with GUI by utilizing Flutter. That is discussed in the link in details. To play with it, please visit the GitHub repo, or refer to the end of the article for detailed folders and commands. When I…

In plain words

Flutter Rust Bridge is a code generation tool that connects Rust and Flutter, automatically translating between their syntaxes including async functions, traits, closures, and type systems. It enables developers to write Rust backend logic with Flutter frontends as if working in a single language. The tool is designed for developers building cross-platform applications who want to leverage Rust's performance for backend operations while using Flutter for the user interface.

Background #Rust has been “the most desired programming language” for 8 years (by StackOverflow and GitHub 1 2), and many people want to write programs with a GUI in Rust.

Rust has been “the most desired programming language” for 8 years (by StackOverflow and GitHub 1 2 ), and many people want to write programs with a GUI in Rust. Therefore, in this blog, I will share an approach by utilizing Flutter and the https://github.com/fzyzcjy/flutter_rust_bridge I made. To have a try, please visit the GitHub repo or the demo folder at the end of this article. Firstly, Flutter is popular and mature. It is “the most popular cross-platform mobile SDK” (by StackOverflow 1 2 ). In addition, many developers and well-known brands (e.g. see this long list ) are using it. It is a lot of work to make an engine feature-rich and mature like that.…from cjycode.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
