For some reason, it seems popular for GUI crates to use the GPU. I just want to make simple widgets, for like a calculator.

No fancy graphics. I want it quite lightweight.

For some reason, popular GUI crates love to do everything through a GPU, which bumps up the memory / cpu use significantly.

    OMG, thank you! I have been using Iced. My simple application’s RAM just went down from 80 MB to only 4 MB.

    The executable size went down from about 8 MB to 2.5 MB

      8MB to 2.5MB is a huge drop. I wonder what caused the bloat - a crate?

        Most likely the GPU one

          Obviously.

          I mean the specific crate that caused the bloat.
