Are We Embedded Yet? #2
This series is meant to document and promote the joint effort of making ratatui truly portable.
Ratatui alpha with no-std support released!
I’ve been between jobs lately, so I haven’t had much time to write an update.
But great news - no_std support in Ratatui has landed!
You can try it out in version 0.30.0-alpha.4.
Ratatui compiled for aarch64-unknown-none.
Rat in The Wild Challenge
We've launched a RITW challenge
to inspire you to push Ratatui to its limits—and beyond!
With 0.30.0-alpha.4, it's theoretically possible to run Ratatui
apps even on platforms like the PlayStation 1.

Update: mousefood
The obvious next step is to make Mousefood compile without std,
and I've already done that! I just need a bit more time to write documentation and test it on real hardware.
In the meantime, I've also been working on a simple demo app for Mousefood.
It’s still in the early stages, but it will likely end up in the examples/ directory of the main repo eventually.
Mousefood demo running on esp32.
By the way, @orhun - maintainer of Ratatui and author of git-cliff and ratzilla - is currently using Mousefood in his tuitar project and livestreaming his progress. Check it out here!
We're also planning a joint future project, so stay tuned. 👀
Talks!
Last weekend I gave a 5 minute lightning talk at Poznańska Impreza Wolnego Oprogramowania showing off what the Ratatui community is cooking.
Besides talking about Mousefood and RITW challenge, I showcased demos of:
Next month I will be giving a talk about Mousefood and porting Ratatui everywhere at Rust Gdańsk. See you there!
