The first release is in the near future and we should be able to argue why our project was and is necessary in the current Rust ecosystem and in which disciplines we are faster, better or easier to use than other libraries.

I would propose the following questionnaire:

Code quality:

[ ] Test coverage

Documentation:

[ ] Documentation for the core api, served with extensive examples

Performance:

Main goals of rui in comparison to other rust ui frameworks:

Rendering engine from scratch with support for dynamic svg and graphic effects like shadows, blurs, transparency blending
Low overhead os event loop able to run on a single thread and with support for async task scheduling.
Clean, simple and intuitive api, but still with the focus on not having limitations.
Long time goal: also to be able to create apps on mobile platforms
