Druid
An experimental Rust-native UI toolkit focused on data-first design and polished desktop applications.
What is Druid?
Druid is an experimental Rust-native UI toolkit designed for building polished desktop applications with a data-first architecture. It provides a widget library, platform abstraction via druid-shell, and leverages the Piet graphics library for rendering. The project is now discontinued, with development moving to its successor, Xilem.
Rust developers interested in building native desktop applications with a focus on performance, cross-platform compatibility, and a rich user experience.
Developers chose Druid for its data-driven design, seamless platform integration, and comprehensive widget system, offering a robust foundation for desktop GUI development in Rust without relying on platform-native widgets.
