Can this crate be used to create a regular old QT Widgets app?

[edisno]

It seems qt_core, qt_widgets etc is unmaintained, can this crate be used instead with a different approach? If not, what is missing?

No, this crate is only for QML

The Qt Widgets API has a much bigger API surface than QML and it would be a much bigger work to expo it with a nice Rust API

If you are asking that question, then it's definitely not for you :)

Technically you could expose list/table/item models and export dylibs as plugins for your Widgets based app. But writing Qt Widgets app from scratch in Rust would be pure madness, probably not worth it.
