Funny you should mention that. I think iced as of four days ago can do this!
If I'm reading the release notes and Cargo.toml right, cargo add iced --no-default-features and you should be good to go, as tiny-skia will be used as a rendering backend instead of wgpu.
OMG, thank you! I have been using Iced. My simple application's RAM just went down from 80 MB to only 4 MB.
The executable size went down from about 8 MB to 2.5 MB
8MB to 2.5MB is a huge drop. I wonder what caused the bloat - a crate?
Most likely the GPU one
Obviously.
I mean the specific crate that caused the bloat.
Slint fits the bill: We have a demo running on a line-buffer in a microcontroller with <300KiB of RAM. Framebuffers are of course supported as well, as is GPU-accelerated rendering.
Did you tick "Bot Account" by accident?
I did tick that, since I saw text boxes and went "give me everything" without reading:-)
Fixed. Thank you for pointing this out.
How about Tauri? https://tauri.app/
You have much to learn Young Padawan. If you're wanting to make a desktop app in Rust it behooves one to avoid embedded web environments. For performance reasons of course.
