But do note (given the context of this discussion) that Iced is completely unsuitable for the web. Early on it had an actual web renderer (iced_web), but they stopped maintaining it and it doesn’t work any more, so what you get if you use Iced on the web is the pure-canvas approach, which is fundamentally and irredeemably unsuitable for general-purpose web content and apps. (I’ve written about this a number of times here on HN; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33861831 is one.)
By all means use it on desktop platforms, but it won’t get you an acceptable web version.
