In this talk I will show the new MIT licensed visual application IDE and design tool Makepad Studio. We will go through local-model AI assisted programming and an early peek at our visual UI designer. Makepad is a UI framework and IDE/designtool combination for Rust. Makepad runs natively on Web, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux and Windows using a GPU accelerated stack. With a focus on staying light-weight a complete application still compiles in 10 seconds with all dependencies on a modern computer.
