The web platform is the delivery mechanism of choice for a ton of software these days, either through the web browser itself or through Electron, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a place for a good old fashioned straight-up desktop application in the picture.

Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to write a usable, pretty, and performant desktop app, using my language of choice (Rust) and the wildly successful cross-platform GUI framework GTK. In this blog post, we’ll walk through the source code of gDiceRoller. In future posts, I’ll explain how I packaged it for different systems.

A high-performance image processing library, available for use both natively and on the web. Rust/WebAssembly image processing library .

96 functions are available, including:

Transformations: Resize, crop, and flip images.
Image correction: Hue rotation, sharpening, brightness adjustment, adjusting saturation, lightening/darkening all within various colour spaces.
Convolutions: Sobel filters, blurs, Laplace effects, edge detection, etc.,
Channel manipulation: Increasing/decreasing RGB channel values, swapping channels, removing channels, etc.
Monochrome effects: Duotoning, greyscaling of various forms, thresholding, sepia, averaging RGB values
Colour manipulation: Work with the image in various colour spaces such as HSL, LCh, and sRGB, and adjust the colours accordingly.
Filters: Over 30 pre-set filters available, incorporating various effects and transformations.
Text: Apply text to imagery in artistic ways, or to watermark, etc.,
Watermarking: Watermark images in multiple formats.
Blending: Blend images together using 10 different techniques, change image backgrounds

Rust on Pi

Rust is an open-source systems programming language that focuses on speed, memory safety and parallelism. Developers are using Rust to create a wide range of new software applications, such as game engines, operating systems, file systems, browser components and simulation engines for virtual reality.
