What popular crates are available to build GUIs with widgets WITHOUT GPU?
For some reason, it seems popular for GUI crates to use the GPU. I just want to make simple widgets, for like a calculator.
No fancy graphics. I want it quite lightweight.
For some reason, popular GUI crates love to do everything through a GPU, which bumps up the memory / cpu use significantly.

Funny you should mention that. I think
icedas of four days ago can do this!If I'm reading the release notes and
Cargo.tomlright,cargo add iced --no-default-featuresand you should be good to go, astiny-skiawill be used as a rendering backend instead ofwgpu.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.
