I intend to make my own native desktop client for Fluxer using my own GUI framework with my own simple OpenGL renderer, all written in Rust. It's immediate-mode, cross-platform, has hot-reloading (thanks tosubsecond), supports stuff like unicode text (thanks to parley), text input and animations, and has a widget inspector. I still need to add some important things like a Metal renderer for MacOS (the OpenGL renderer is too slow on MacOS right now), some kind of way to make custom shaders (won't take too long) and accessibility (using accesskit), but apart from that it's pretty much usable.
Here's a demo of what I have so far.

Here's a smaller video demonstrating hot reloading since GitHub doesn't want to embed the previous video.

I too intend to create a client in Rust (and have already started) but with gpui-component! I don't want to stop because it's fun! Maybe I should switch to something more native so there aren't two attempts to do something very similar... maybe if I get something working quickly (which should be easier when I don't need to work on my own ui stuff too much) it could also help other efforts
(also note that I'm new to Rust and its ecosystem, Speykious probably stands a better chance of making something good)
(I am also on Plasma and Qt would be the native look - and using Qt from Rust isn't that fun so C++ is probably a better bet)
Edit: I'll just wait and see what everyone else does
