Eframe has a App trait to implement for a egui application.
https://docs.rs/eframe/latest/eframe/trait.App.html
In the ui trait function you can call the egui functions to render the Ui.
However they're all sync functions, how can you call a async functions in sync?
My use case is networking with Iroh. Most functions are async.

do you have an async runtime yet?
I guess iroh uses tokio. You can use Handle::block_on to run a future synchronously. Or you can spawn it as a task and do something later when it is finished. I'm not sure if there's any complications with doing this on web.

All networking in web is always async?? However for linux you'll want something that sets noblocking, I'm sure windows is similar. web also has only a single thread, unless you setup a worker but that's another task not a thread as you'd typically understand. So... I would write all the networking code twice.
...or use a library like tungstenite.

I haven't really done ui programming but the usual strategy is to have your io on some other threads, and send a message to the ui thread/lib when it's completed, so it can be rendered. doing or waiting for any io on the ui thread is a nono, especially for network io

I really should've read the Egui readme, I'm using channels for my use case.

From the README.MD:
If you call .await in your GUI code, the UI will freeze, which is very bad UX
Yep, very bad.
