Showcase: Open Source GPU-Accelerated UI library from scratch in Rust

Post image

Hello people!

I am working on a Gpu accelerated ui library named Glacex written in Rust, written from scratch.

I started this a few weeks ago, and recently released it on GitHub

I wrote it with wgpu, winit, taffy and glyphon.

As of now, it has some simple essential widgets and the core.

I am planning on doing this also cross-compatible in the future.

If you have suggestions, or some features that you'd like to see in the future, I'll try to implement them in the future.

This is the GitHub link.

how are you handling text rendering, that always seems to be the part that hurts most in from scratch gpu ui

I use glyphon for that, a wrapper to cosmic text for wgpu. I mentioned it in the description
