Guess we have a competitor now :)

How do you deal with features that cannot be modeled as pure functions or are too computationally heavy to rerender on change? For example, user selections, copy and paste, ray tra…

I have tried many, many website editors. Wix is one of the better ones. Among the big three managed website builders of Wix/Squarespace/Weebly, Wix has the most powerful editor. Su…

The hardest thing is making things pretty and flexible while maintaining ease of development. Newer UI kits like Flutter are basically architected like game engines. This is a chal…

Setting the cursor position is still available in the Windows API, it is the basis of how most RPA tools work.

We went the other way round and built a VBA interpreter instead.

Join our mailing list :) Give us a try when we launch, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Their biggest mistake was not scaling the VBA/Excel/Access stack beyond desktop and updating it. Where is the WinUI integration for VBA? The product and language was fine but it ha…

I personally believe that Microsoft has lost their way when it comes to low code (which is why we are trying to build a replacement). PowerApps is a lot less powerful than the trad…

We are currently working on a VBA for the web. Stay tuned. https://hypermachine.substack.com

They accepted Dendron, conceptually similar. Try again!

How to use the same low latency tricks as the Tonari mirror in other applications. E.g. cloud gaming, conference calls

Because in 2021 developer tools are fundamentally not profitable. Jetbrains is the exception, not the norm. Developer tools are loss leaders for large corporation to acquire develo…

What's your stack? Mostly C++?

Tech question: do you plug in to the native compositing UI system or do you have your own cross-platform UI compositing code?

The UI builder and libraries are still heavily WIP. Previously we were focused on making a VBA interpreter. For the HTML-over-wire part we are experimenting with a protobufs-based …

We are actually going the other direction. Currently I am experimenting with making a Blazor/Liveview (HTML over wire) runtime that can support many programming languages. And a GU…

Are you referring to this https://winworldpc.com/product/borland-c/40 or the later versions?

That's more of a demo and showcase tool rather than a GUI builder. I am specifically looking for the drag and drop type.

We are working on it (starting from the VBA interpreter).

I am building a UI builder. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26532316

Cloud native VBA. See the earlier comments under my account for context.

We have automatic version control for our platform, give us a try when we launch.

Low code isn't inherently that bad as long as it offers a way to integrate with traditional code. Microsoft Excel is tremendously succesful in this area.

Fair enough and I agree, but I am looking for examples of UI builders with great UX and flexibility because I am currently building one.
