Tired of guessing margins and recompiling Rust UI? Ruxel Studio is a native VS Code drag-and-drop builder that respects your code. It features Lossless AST Sync (preserves your custom logic and comments), real-time CRDT multiplayer, and supports Iced, egui, Slint & Dioxus out of the box. I'm a solo dev releasing v0.5.1. Watch the video demo here: https://youtu.be/mgd78dEjhTI?si=1Aa_q0O_-FmFokMR Try it out and I'd love your feedback on the generated code!

Could you build this?
Partial A VS Code webview editor is buildable, but Lossless AST Sync that round-trips Rust code without losing comments or custom logic, plus multi-framework support and CRDT multiplayer, requires deep compiler and language-tooling expertise.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a VS Code extension with a webview canvas, using rust-analyzer or tree-sitter/syn to parse Rust into an AST and a CRDT library such as Yjs or Automerge for multiplayer. The hard part is writing a lossless bidirectional sync that edits only the changed nodes while preserving formatting and comments, separately for each GUI framework's widget model (Iced, egui, Slint, Dioxus). This needs an engineer with Rust compiler or macro experience and GUI framework internals knowledge.
