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

This is an amazing feature! Thank you for sharing it!!

On latest Android, long-pressing home activates the Google Assistant overlay, which allows you to select any text on screen (and translate and search region).

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?

Photo editors, CADs etc. I mean... pretty much anything you have on desktop but in your browser.

Or just in your desktop app. You don’t have to run in a browser.

I'm currently building a GUI framework which have a flutter-like native render but that renders to DOM when targeting web. Announcement coming soon!

For Rust?

C-c, C-v works for me here.

    egui is an immediate mode GUI library written in Rust. egui runs both on the web and natively on . On the web it is compiled to WebAssembly and rendered with WebGL. Everything you see is rendered as textured triangles. There is no DOM, HTML, JS or CSS. Just Rust.
    egui is designed to be easy to use, portable, and fast.

I don't but I can. Which a very nice thing to have if you don't want to use Windows VM for a CAD, for example.

Yeah, but it still only uses OCR, right?
