A GPU-accelerated, cross-platform UI framework for building desktop, mobile, and web applications from a single Rust codebase.
- GPU-Accelerated: SDF rendering, glassmorphism, spring physics, @flow custom shaders
- Cross-Platform: Desktop (macOS/Windows/Linux), Android, iOS, Web (WebGPU)
- Builder API: Declarative, chainable:
div().flex_col().gap(16.0).child(text("Hello")) - 40+ Components: shadcn/ui-style library with CSS-overridable theming
- 40+ Live Demos: Try them in your browser (WebGPU required)
use blinc_app::prelude::*;
use blinc_app::windowed::WindowedApp;
fn main() -> Result<()> {
WindowedApp::run(WindowConfig::default(), |ctx| {
div()
.w(ctx.width).h(ctx.height)
.bg(Color::rgb(0.1, 0.1, 0.15))
.justify_center().items_center()
.child(text("Hello Blinc!").size(48.0).color(Color::WHITE))
})
}The same build_ui function runs on desktop and web and no separate codebase.

See ROADMAP.md for detailed milestones. Current focus:
- Missing widgets (date/time/color picker, data grid)
- Zyntax DSL:
.blincdomain specific language for UI definitions, with support for live editing and hot reload in the future - Accessibility (screen reader, keyboard navigation)
- Developer tooling (hot reload, visual inspector)
