🌗🚀 Dioxus
Frontend that scales.
Dioxus is a portable, performant, and ergonomic framework for building cross-platform user experiences in Rust.
fn Example(cx: Context<()>) -> VNode {
let (selection, set_selection) = use_state(&cx, || "..?");
cx.render(rsx! {
h1 { "Hello, {selection}" }
button { "?", onclick: move |_| set_selection("world!")}
button { "?", onclick: move |_| set_selection("Dioxus 🎉")}
})
};
Dioxus can be used to deliver webapps, desktop apps, static pages, liveview apps, eventually mobile apps (WIP), and more. At its core, Dioxus is entirely renderer agnostic and has great documentation for creating new renderers for any platform.
If you know React, then you already know Dioxus.

Why?
TypeScript is a great addition to JavaScript, but comes with a lot of tweaking flags, a slight performance hit, and an uneven ecosystem where some of the most important packages are not properly typed. TypeScript provides a lot of great benefits to JS projects, but comes with its own "tax" that can slow down dev teams. Rust can be seen as a step up from TypeScript, supporting:
- static types for all libraries
- advanced pattern matching
- immutability by default
- clean, composable iterators
- a good module system
- integrated documentation
- inline built-in unit/integration testing
- best-in-class error handling
- simple and fast build system
- powerful standard library (no need for lodash or underscore)
- include_str! for integrating html/css/svg templates directly
- various macros (
html!,rsx!) for fast template iteration
And much more. Dioxus makes Rust apps just as fast to write as React apps, but affords more robustness, giving your frontend team greater confidence in making big changes in shorter time. Dioxus also works on the server, on the web, on mobile, on desktop - and it runs completely natively so performance is never an issue.
