Rvst renders Svelte components natively using a pure Rust pipeline — no webview, no Electron, no browser engine. Write standard Svelte 5. Get a real desktop app.
The stack: Taffy for layout, Parley for text, Vello for GPU rendering. Your Svelte code compiles to the same component tree, but renders through Rust instead of a browser.
Open source (Apache 2.0). Built for developers who want fast, lightweight desktop apps without shipping a browser.

Hey PH — I'm Shane, the creator of rvst. I've been building AI coordination systems and kept hitting the same wall: Electron apps are bloated, slow, and ship an entire browser just to render a UI. So I built a Rust rendering engine that runs Svelte components natively. No webview. No Chromium. Your Svelte code, rendered directly through Taffy (layout), Parley (text), and Vello (GPU paint). Why...
