https://crates.io/crates/dioxus-native was released 3 months ago and does not have a link to GitHub, I do not think it can be considered as established project yet.

(I am the maintainer of dioxus native, and also posted the comment above)

So:

- The initial version was released over a year ago (3 month is the most recent patch release of the stable version).

- It is part of the Dioxus project (https://github.com/dioxuslabs/dioxus) which has been going since 2021 (but the other renderers are web/webview based).

- The native renderer (https://github.com/dioxuslabs/blitz) has been under development since December 2024 (building a whole new web engine is just a big project).

You're ultimately kind of right that it's not as established as 1-4 in the list. But I think it justifies it's place with the other frameworks lower down the list as one of the lesser-known frameworks that compete technically with those further up the list.

      It's absolutely in good faith. There are two kinds of GUI framework in Rust:

      - Those people have poured consistent time and effort into over a period of years

      - Those people vibe code into existence in a couple of weeks and typically abandon after a few months.

      Nobody wants to waste their time on the latter, so I am pointing people to the former. Yes, mine is one of them, but that doesn't make it bad faith, it just means I know what I'm talking about.
