*Fortunately* for you that means I am available for some freelance #rust engineering work again, part-time for now as things still require my attention at times. #fedihire

I can help from building SDKs to entire Apps in Rust (currently playing with #gpui ), architect, debug, profile, educate, teach and lead.

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.
