For Rust?
Yep!
As soon as you start hoping to get pixel perfect/complex designs in place, though, it hits a wall.

I think you can work around it by listening on the touchstart event on your element and calling e.preventDefault(). Don't have an iPhone handy to test it right now, but I believe that's how I fixed that issue in my web game.
Thank you for the suggestion. This is also what is discussed in some stackoverflow threads on that topic. I simply do not get why javascript is required to stop the browser from interfering with user actions. Calling preventDefault also messes with element focus and other events.
Am I the only one that has a problem with all non dom/html renderers that I can't copy the text on mobile? The same with flutter etc, it's such a regression in my eyes but nobody prioritizes it.
I'm not sure about other smartphones but for the past years I've been using a godsend feature that allows me to copy any text in any app (including text on images). It's in the app switching mode in Android (or at least Pixels), the mode where you see your opened apps after pressing home for 1 second dragging up

The layers of extreme complexity in this situation are astounding. The app has some text internally, it renders it by rasterizing fonts to a bitmap, the OS takes the bitmap and composites it within the wider UI. Google Assistant grabs a screenshot of the fully composited, post-processed OS UI, sends it over the internet to a server, which uses an OCR model to read all the text, and a different model to work out which…
On Android it more or less just uses the accessibility APIs to grab the actual text, you can do it without using Google Assistant even by selecting text inside an app's thumbnail window from the Recent Apps screen.
I have just used it yesterday to better understand a math problem and found that the edit-compile-run cycle of rust with this framework was prohibitively long. I only had a single file calling into this lib - maybe I could have improved on it with splitting the project up to some modules? Could anyone comment on their experience? Because usually I have found rust compile times okay, but this really made it hard to it…
Modules wouldn't fix this afaik. I feel like hot-reloading would be the fix here, but I'm unsure what the state on that is.
I'm afraid that until browsers provide APIs to help render fonts with sub-pixel rendering (note: that would add fingerprinting bits), canvas-based UI rendering libraries will always have a big disadvantage (vs DOM-based) on all but the high pixel density devices. (This is well known by the egui authors, which is a great library!)
I'm not sure. Phones and Macs are already all high density enough. Apparently it's been removed on Mac. Probably not too long before even cheap windows laptops and Chromebooks have hidpi screens. Plus modern displays can have all sorts of weird subpixel layouts so it's not as simple as it used to be.

The poster above me explained to me that it's not like that?
Click the link, open the backend tab, and look where it says "Only running UI code when there are animations or input." Then you won't have to waste cycles deciding which random internet comment from a stranger to believe
Don't know about web. Seems overkill if all you have are GUI widgets. Egui is most useful on top of something more graphical.
Scrolling text is a problem. EGUI isn't good at big text boxes with much offscreen text. That can be worked around.
Demo pages like this are fun, and technically impressive when compiled to a browser environment. But I suffer from a lack of imagination so these widget demos don't really help me envision what an egui-powered app can do or might look like. Does anyone have any examples of fun things that use egui?
[ https://truncate.town/](https://truncate.town/) is all egui (after the main menu)
Words similarly fail me how much I loathe and detest its GUI (at least on mobile browsers, where I often play the game). As an example, one has to actually _close_ the dictionary popup if you fat finger a letter because the fucking backspace doesn't work, or rather seems to require an incomprehensible number of presses to start deleting letters
