I used `iced` but admittedly I also used a lot of elbow grease. Custom Theme, custom widgets and lots of passion to get it to look Just Right.

Cool. Any publicly available source code? If not, any screenshots at least? I'm curious as what Iced is capable of (with extra widgets/themes/etc. like you mentioned).

Unfortunately it's closed source and we're invite-only at this point so I can't share, but hopefully in a few weeks

I do share screenshots and screen recordings every now and then in the iced Discord but I've so far refrained from posting about it on HN which is a much bigger audience

I suppose the best description of the UI is a mashup of VSCode and Figma

Cosmic is built on iced, so you could look what they achieved.

look into Cosmic Desktop and SniffNet as examples, both use Iced and IME are very high quality
