What is your experience with those frameworks? I am interested in building something similar to Insomnia/Postman for fun & learning mostly. What is the web story of each framework? Thanks!

Dioxus is wayyy more fleshed out tbh. And with https://freyaui.dev/ it's super easy.

Interesting, can a dioxus app built with freyaui also run on the web?

I use iced, the idea behind is great - elm architecture. However, the attitude of maintainer that doesn’t bother to be involved in discussions in their discord and merge behemoth size changes with no review makes me think more and more if it’s a good choice.

I recently started looking at the xilem which is also elm architecture inspired abd being developed openly and with proper engineering practices, however it is at very early stages just yet.
