#982I’m working on a native UI framework in rust. I want to be able to build cross platform, fully native applications with native code. And I want platform native components. I started with Leptos - which gives you a nice declarative UI syntax and reactive elements. I used Claude to get that working on iOS, cocoa and GTK. I made a nice little iOS schedule app for attendees at conferences. It works great. All rust, nativ…
That sounds a lot like my Day (https://daybrite.dev) project! We should compare notes…
Are you confident that forking Leptos for this is the right choice? Do you like their HTML-ish DSL when applied to native apps?

#984I got laid off at the end of April and have been building my own personal dream tool since, it's a skeuomorphic carpentry simulator with an agent MCP. You start with real wood specs and a shop full of miter saws, router tables, table saws and the like. Think of it like Sketchup but no extruding rectangles. It's been really fun to build with. Agents can create parametric procedures so e.g. stick framing becomes a simp…
For each build, it would be so cool to list the projects that I can make with the off cuts and scraps.

#986Building a free and open-source read-later macOS app. https://readcontrol.app
I used many different read-later apps, and none of them fulfilled my needs, so I decided to create my own. The engine is written in Rust so other OS clients can be implemented later.
