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
iced
as of four days ago can do this!If I'm reading the release notes and
Cargo.toml
right,cargo add iced --no-default-features
and you should be good to go, astiny-skia
will be used as a rendering backend instead ofwgpu
.14 1 ReplyOMG, 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
