This my first Rust Egui desktop application. It allows to enter menu data and generates PDF output with typst-to-lib.

The program ships as a single executable file. It saves the data as a plain-text INI-file. The PDF shows the same data with different layouts over several pages.

Its build to spec for my wife and will be used at her workplace.

#rustlang #egui #typst

Really painful, I want #Rust GUI toolkit for Wayland that minimizes memory usage. My UI is two textboxes and five labels, I don't want to use browsers.

#EGUI = 105MB of memory
#GPUI with GPUI-components = 100MB of memory

However running Smithay example Wayland window takes only 2MB of memory! But it is not toolkit, it doesn't have textboxes etc.

If toolkit uses already over 100MB of memory, it feels like I could just use webview, sigh.

@alavi it's definitely on the complex end of the spectrum but I've had a good experience with #eframe #egui in #rust .

@vengeful4744 haha, I'm doing the same thing but for DSLRs/Hybrids 😅 (a lot less features though) also in #rust, also with #egui , also with the possibility to have a headless/server running on a raspberry, also running on Linux... But I'm not ready to publish it yet. If I was a reasonable person I would drop my project and join forces but coding it all by myself is 33% of my joy to do #astrophotography 😅
