Rustycan
WARNING: this is work in progress, expect tons of breaking changes, often.
Rustycan is a powerful UI framework for Rust, designed to make it easier than ever to create UIs and update existing UIs for games or apps. Rustycan support immediate-like and retained mode UIs.
It features a variety of advanced effects, including blur, frosted glass, shaders, and animation, as well as accessibility features and the ability to easily style and extend the framework. Additionally, Rustycan supports hot reload, themes, and native controls, allowing for cross-platform development on Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, and the web. It relies on existing frameworks for rendering to achieve its goal of providing developers with an ergonomic and intuitive experience.

Rustycan aims to achieve the goals above by reinventing the UI syntax and tools, while relying on existing frameworks (either low-level or other UI frameworks for rendering.) That enables me to focus on ergonomics instead of reinventing much of the rendering stack.
