FastPlay, a fast minimal Windows video player built in Rust
SMRTR summary
FastPlay is a minimal Windows video player built in Rust, focused entirely on one thing: opening a local file and watching it fast. It skips libraries, streaming, and plugins in favor of low open-to-first-frame latency, D3D11 GPU rendering, per-file resume, and responsive seek controls. It's not competing with VLC — it's for developers and power users who want zero friction for local playback.
