Xilem is a high-level reactive framework inspired by React, SwiftUI and Elm. It lets users create a lightweight view tree, and changes the rendered app based on changes to the tree. It has a web backend and a Masonry backend.

Masonry is a foundational crate for building natively compiled GUIs in Rust. It provides a retained widget tree and runs event handling and update passes on it.

This is the project I’ve contributed most prolifically to, as I use this for all my GUI endeavors and find it joyful to work with the project and the community, both.

Understory is a small family of crates designed to be combined in different stacks over time, that provides foundational spatial and scene data structures for user interfaces, graphics editors, and CAD viewers.

My contribution was to the understory_virtual_list</code> crate that provides abstractions for 1D virtualization primitives, in particular, adding support for sparse lazy loading of list items.

It is a Quran reader app that automatically scrolls the text for hands-free, uninterrupted recitation.</p>
I built it mainly for personal use in Ramadan of 1447 AH, and did two full recitation of the Holy Quran using this.</p>
It uses resources from the Quranic Universal Library (QUL)</a> by Tarteel.ai, in particular the DigitalKhatt</a> font by Dr. Amine Anan which is a digitized replica of the calligraphy by Master Calligrapher Uthman Taha in the 1441H mushaf from King Fahad Glorious Quran Printing Complex.</p>
This project is written in Rust using Xilem</a> GUI library from Linebender</a> and brought the opportunity for a few community contributions, involving the understory</code></a> crates.</p>


lapce/floem
2023-05-01T00:00:00+00:00
Floem is a native cross-platform Rust UI library with fine-grained reactivity inspired by Leptos</a>.</p>
It is the UI library that powers the Lapce</a> code editor.</p>
I fixed non-standard text input behavior on Windows when using non-standard input method editors (IME) that hooks keyboard events directly, like Avro Keyboard</a> which I used heavily at that time.</p>
However, I’ve switched to my homegrown replacement</a> of it that uses proper IME framework.</p>

It is small Windows app that lives as a notification area icon and shows prayer times using adhaan</code></a>.</p>
</p>
It is written in Rust using the Druid</a> GUI library. Working on this lead to my first serious foray into community contribution in the Linebender</a> community.</p>
This project is currently on hiatus. I’m in the process of porting it to Xilem</a>, which is the successor of Druid.</p>
