Similar story here. Even though our ovens actually work fine, the problem is a new competitor: OpenOven. Their oven is completely free, and on the Italian forum everyone talks abou…

one missing from that list: Slint, which i work on. runs on Linux, Windows, macOS and embedded, with app logic in Rust, C++, Python or JS. You can use JS but it doesn't ship a brow…

If you are looking for something similar but not limited to C++, you can check Slint out: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/

C++ works, but compared to other languages it's often no longer the most productive choice for UI work. Modern UI code is mostly glue and state management, where fast iteration mat…

Qt is still used, but I think part of the reason it is less used is that C++ isn't always the right language anymore for building GUI application. That’s actually why we're working…

We're actually working on a native open source cross-platform UI toolkit called Slint that’s trying to do exactly that. https://slint.dev

> I wish that there was some native alternative to the Web-based everything. I suggest Slint ( https://slint.dev )

There are some desktop apps made with Slint. For example: - WesAudio has a VST plugin for audio applications: https://slint.dev/success/wesaudio-daw - LibrePCB 2.0, is migrating th…

> someone has to make a native cross-platform desktop UI framework that doesn't suck This is exactly what we're trying to do with Slint ( https://github.com/slint-ui/slint ). It’s …

> So in case of slint, I would check how they solved the text inputs. Slint uses the NativeActivity by default, but it supports IME by implementing the IME support in Java in the S…

slintpad.com uses the wasm port to run on a browser and is not the same as when using Slint to build a "native" app, especially on mobile. Slint does support decent text input and …

I’m curious what that showstopper bug actually was. I was really looking forward to this feature, as it would've helped improve Rust C++ interoperability.

Of course Rust can handle those use cases fine (GUIs, web browsers, and game engines). C++ is still high on the TIOBE index mainly because it is indeed old and used in a lot of leg…

Author of one of these "markup"-based toolkits here. I believe that Rust might not be the best language syntax to express UI. I am curious why you are so strongly against using a D…

Not OP, but some users migrated from Qt to Slint and are happy with it. [ https://slint.dev ] (I'm one of the Slint developers.)

Slint does require using its DSL to define UIs, but I'd argue it's not really like learning a whole new language. It's not harder than learning the API surface of any other GUI fra…

Regarding Rust GUI framework, there is also Slint https://slint.dev (Disclaimer: I'm one of the Slint developers.)

I'm one of the developers of Slint[0], a framework the should be ticking all the boxes for stable, lightweight, and native-style UIs supporting accessibility [0] https://slint.dev

10 years ago, in another life, I was already experimenting with trying to provides feature from moc with reflections and from other macros: - https://woboq.com/blog/reflection-in-c…

Did you know about Slint https://slint.dev ? What do you think about it?

I’m actually working on an alternative called Slint => https://slint.dev
