Looks nice. Well as far as I can tell anyway. Maybe next time you're showing off a GUI don't make the screenshots 320x240?

Anyone know what toolkit they are using? As far as I know none of the Rust GUI toolkits are close to mature.

Edit: it's iced.

Looks nice and all, but I doubt I'll use it. Feels alot like GNOME

Do they have some preference what GUI toolkit apps should use? GTK or Qt?

See: https://blog.system76.com/post/cosmic-team-interview-byoux

We considered toolkits like GTK, Flutter, and QT, and though the team was already experienced working with GTK for Pop!_OS, eventually landed on the Rust-based toolkit, Iced.
