Try dioxus, it has live reload but it's a work in progress.
replyDioxus seems to be 'just' another way to generate HTML on the desktop.
Electron but Rust?
Is there a legitimate upside there?
replyWith Dioxus, program logic compiles to native code instead of running it through a JS engine, and it ships its own HTML renderer (Blitz) instead of bundling a whole browser. So it's a lot more lightweight and performant than Electron.
replyAs a minor bonus, the live-reload is also faster than what frameworks like React do. It truly has subsecond latency, which isn't exactly a game changer but is nice when iterating on visual details of an app.
Sounds similar to Wails. It does the same but with Go instead of Rust.
replyI don't think so, wails is more like tauri rather than diouxus
replyWe now also have a custom GPU renderer (Blitz), which makes Dioxus more comparable to Flutter or the other Rust GUI toolkits (GPUI, Iced, etc).
