Not sure how it compares but it looks interesting.
In Building cross-platform Rust for Web, Android and iOS – a minimal exampleI'm currently reading up on Leptos and what looks like its major contender, Dioxus [1] in planning for next project. (acknowledging here that Yew [2] is maybe the OG Rust full stack / frontend framework, but I'm not considering it at this time)
Here's a nice comparison of the Rust frontend frameworks: https://github.com/flosse/rust-web-framework-comparison#fron...
Note that Leptos is interesting because it _does not use a virtual DOM_, unlike Yew and Dioxus which are React-like.
We already write our backend in Rust; why not use it for the whole stack and stop worrying about e.g. the Typescript object falling out of sync with the API struct?

In Leptos, a cutting-edge full-stack Rust frameworkDioxus (https://github.com/dioxuslabs/dioxus) is pretty React like, and has a TUI rendering mode.
In Ink: React for interactive command-line appsThere is also Rink, a Rust port of Ink that uses Dioxus instead of React for the high-level API https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/tree/master/packages/ri...
In Ink: React for interactive command-line appsFWIW, we (Dioxus) are using the $20K to fund an internship for one of our contributors. We're hoping the program will act like VC funding (marketing, really) and help us unlock larger corporate sponsorships.

In GitHub Accelerator: our first cohort and what’s nextA full list of projects that are being spun out as framework-agnostic:
- taffy: flexbox+css grid https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy
- blitz: html/css renderer
https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz
- sledgehammer: faster than websys bindings https://github.com/demonthos/sledgehammer/
- native-core: salsa but for UI trees https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/tree/master/packages/na...
- tui: native-core+terminal rendering
We want to make sure every part of the stack is available for anyone.
In GitHub Accelerator: our first cohort and what’s nextI'm thrilled to see my project (https://mockoon.com) being part of this first cohort! It's a great opportunity but it's also good for open-source projects in general. It can only contribute to make our industry more sustainable.

Edit: formatting and updated repo links
It uses IPC to give the WebView patches of what to do. There is a wee bit of JS there that parses the IPC and applies the patch to the DOM.
Here's the code:

In Tauri Mobile – Develop Mobile Apps with JavaScript and RustYep, I think the PR is ready to go too!
https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/pull/762
I think the next logical step is to build our own "Phoenix" on top of axum (or hyper).
