Re: Porting Rust UI Toolkit OrbTk to Ubuntu Touch

I've published a post about OrbTk on reddit. It contains also a small update about the platform support for Ubuntu Touch https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/dd4z4l/introducing_orbtk_the_rust_uitoolkit_03/

Hello.
Do you have any test app for the Ubuntu Touch?

FloVanUB · 4 Oct 2019, 13:48

Not now. First I have to add Ubuntu touch support to the cargo-node tool. But you could test to build an OrbTk example as WebAssambly app and wrap it in a Ubuntu Touch web app.

Does this open a door to a native version of Firefox for UT?

@Giiba Firefox does not use it, so no.

Hello again

First step: create an issue for Ubuntu Touch support: https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk/issues/100. I also start evaluating some libraries that could be used to implement that port.

At first I will start to port the minifb https://github.com/emoon/rust_minifb crate to Ubuntu Touch. It think so more projects could be profit and ported to Ubuntu Touch. We use minifb it as main window library. The first port will wrap QWindow.
