Hi, this looks like an awesome project. After moving to Rust from Dart, I was looking for a library to develop cross-platform mobile apps using Rust + Skia, like Flutter.

This project seems to have similar aims. Wanted some clarification -

Is this a cross-platform GUI kit to develop any kind of mobile app (like Flutter) + desktop/web or is it specifically for Mapping and Visualisations/Plotting.

Hello, thank you for your interest.

A goal for this to enable rich map experiences. Though one can extend this to build any UI elements as some shown in example.

Currently it is much focused on a desktop, though some work has been to support Android. Web and iOS should be possible too, though it is not near that at all.
