Seed

Rust front-end framework for building web apps compiled to WebAssembly, with an Elm-like architecture.

Seed is a Rust framework for front-end web apps that run in the browser as WebAssembly, with an Elm-like architecture. Its templating system is written in Rust, using macros such as div!, so the markup is Rust code rather than a template language.

The README starts apps from a quickstart template and runs them with trunk serve. The API documentation is on docs.rs, which the README names as the place to read because the project’s own guides are no longer reachable.

Worth knowing

The README says Seed is not maintained at the moment. Its own website domain now redirects to an unrelated site, and the README says server-side rendering is not available yet.
