Robius: Immersive and Seamless Multi-platform App Development in Rust

Project Robius is a new community-driven framework that enables developers to create robust, efficient, and immersive applications in Rust that seamlessly run on many platforms, including desktop, mobile, and web. In this talk, we’ll describe our ongoing work to improve the Rust app dev experience, including a brief overview of key constituent projects like the Makepad UI toolkit and the Osiris project for abstracting platform APIs and OS services. We’ll also demonstrate some applications written using the Robius framework, namely Robrix, a new Matrix chat client app that runs on mobile and desktop. Finally, we'll conclude with a roadmap for our future technical plans, along with more info on how you can join the community and get involved in the world of Rust app dev.
