Rust crates for creatives who want to build local-first desktop applications they own.
RSB is an ecosystem of Rust crates for desktop applications that run on your machine, store their data on your disk, and answer to no one but the person using them. No subscriptions. No telemetry. No cloud lock-in.
The motivating use case is creative work — photography, illustration, design — where the current generation of professional tools has drifted toward subscription rentals, cloud-dependent workflows, and surveillance-by-default. RSB is the foundation for tools that go the other direction.
RSB is opinionated. It encodes a specific position on how to build desktop applications in Rust — a layered architecture, a particular threading and event-loop model, and a set of conventions for how applications wire themselves together.
Currently in active early development. All ecosystem crates are dual-licensed MIT OR Apache-2.0.
