> Many existing projects used lower level libraries such as Python Imaging Library, but I opted for HTML and CSS. The development is fast when you can edit the HTML and immediately see the result without rendering a raster image after each iteration.

I'd like link to Slint [https://github.com/slint-ui/slint] It has a live preview mode so you can iterate fast on the UI, and it is much more lightweight than HTML, so you could even run it bare metal on a Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040)

Got any more details on that? Are we talking "takes half of the RP2040 flash just to initialize hello world" or something smaller ?

You can run pretty complex UI already https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkBwNocItGs
