Designing a GUI library for Rust, and an excellent overview of the many different approaches taken in GUI frameworks:
Rust 2020: GUI and community
In response to the call for blogs about the vision for Rust for 2020, I’m going to write about GUI. I believe the time is right for a native GUI toolkit written in Rust, and that such a thing would fill a very important niche. There is a demand for performance (which, to me, includes startup time, RAM footprint, and binary size), and Rust is in the best position to deliver on that.

I've written a website that archives all my posts/tweets/toots/skeets across different microblogging platforms! It's fun to be able to see similar posts that I wrote at completely different times. It also lets me edit links that have bitrotted.

I've been experimenting with different pagination UIs. It's so common to have arrows, but I've realised they're redundant here. When you have the adjacent values as well as the final value, you don't need > and >> arrows too. Thoughts?

I see that *up has become an increasingly common name for toolchain installers: rustup, ghcup, even juliaup. I think Rust was the first to use this terminology? I'm curious how similar the different *up tools are.
