Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Web, Desktop, and Mobile apps with one codebase in Rust

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building Dioxus, a developer framework that lets teams write apps once in Rust and deploy them everywhere - web, desktop, mobile, AR/VR, and more exotic platforms. It simplifies what is now a fragmented, tool-heavy process for engineering teams trying to maintain code across multiple platforms.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and are currently based in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the concentration of engineering talent, product leaders, and potential customers we want to work with closely. It also makes it easier for recruiting and for being part of the YC community.
