A simple UI framework for Rust built on top of IUP, following the KISS philosophy.
KISS-UI is a user interface framework for Rust that enables developers to build native desktop applications with a simple API. It is built on top of the IUP GUI library, providing cross-platform support and a native look and feel across Windows, Linux, and macOS. The framework focuses on minimizing complexity and dependencies while delivering functional GUI components.
Rust developers who need to create cross-platform desktop applications with native UI elements and prefer a straightforward, minimalistic framework.
Developers choose KISS-UI for its adherence to the KISS philosophy, offering a simple and intuitive API without sacrificing native look and feel. It stands out for its minimal external dependencies and clear cross-platform support compared to more complex Rust UI alternatives.

Leverages IUP to provide applications that match the native UI on Windows, Linux, and macOS, as emphasized in the features for a consistent user experience.
Adheres to the KISS philosophy with a straightforward API, requiring only 18 lines for a 'Hello, World!' app, making it accessible for quick prototyping.
Relies on only a few external crates and the IUP library, reducing bloat compared to frameworks like conrod with many dependencies, as noted in the comparison table.
Includes manifest file support to enable modern visual styles on Windows XP and later, enhancing aesthetics without complex configuration.
Requires manual installation of IUP binaries for each platform with platform-specific steps, adding significant overhead to project setup and maintenance.
On macOS, it uses GTK+ instead of native Cocoa, which may not provide a fully seamless look and feel and relies on external GTK+ installation, as admitted in the README.
Static linking is not supported on Windows due to the need for resource scripts, limiting deployment options and potentially increasing runtime dependencies.
