  6. glyphon

    🦅🦁 Fast, simple 2D text renderer for wgpu

    Project mention: Rendering Crispy Text on the GPU | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-13

    Slug is patented but there are other similar approaches being worked on (e.g., vello https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44236423 that uses wgpu).

    I also developed the glyphon (https://github.com/grovesNL/glyphon) crate which renders 2D text using wgpu and cosmic-text. It uses a dynamic glyph texture atlas, which works fine in practice for most 2D use cases (I use it in production).

  7. wgpu-mc

    Rust-based replacement for the default Minecraft renderer

  8. wgpu_glyph

    A fast text renderer for wgpu (https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu)
