I've heard that gtk-rs is really nice (and that the GNOME project itself is supporting Rust bindings for version 4 --- wish I had a source on that).
For cross-platform UI's, I use web-view. The UI is written in TypeScript/React (and built with esbuild), and it calls into Rust to perform low-level operations.
Thank you. From reading a little bit it looks like web-view is for web based stuff, no? I won't get into why, but I have a low tolerance for web based anything and I pretty much only build software for myself and a few family and friends, so it'll all be natively installable/executable.
I already plan on checking out gtk-rs, especially since I have plenty of experience with GTK.
Yep, it is an embedded browser window (but it uses the natively-available browser engine), so the resulting executable is much smaller than any electron-app.

Yeah, I can't wait for pure-Rust GUI solutions, but for now this is the best way I've found to do cross-platform.

Very helpful; can't say thanks enough!
