This wiki has been automatically GUI Creation
The areweguiyet page also tracks a number of other efforts, but may not be actively kept up to date.
The GUI libraries on this page have different goals. Some let you create stand-alone desktop applications, others are meant to be embedded inside your own render pipeline and some can run inside your browser by compiling to WebAssembly. Embeddable GUI libraries are usually meant for use in games and similar applications.
Rust Libraries
These are crates which contain mostly or only Rust code.
Most of them share some common deficiencies, like a lack of font shaping and font fallback.[1][2][3][4]
Some of these crates use 
winitwinit's input handling deficiencies.[5][6][7]
Despite these issues, many of these crates are perfectly usable for personal projects.
| Crate name | Status (latest version) | Development Status (last updated) | Embeddable
Can you use the library within your own render pipeline?
|
Desktop
Does the library handle window creation and the render pipeline?
|
WebAssembly
Can the GUI be rendered on a website?
