Re: Show HN: Yue – A new library to create cross-platform GUI apps
#2Hi everyone, I have written a C++ library for creating native GUI apps, it also has language bindings for Lua and JavaScript (V8).
In the past I have written the Electron framework, which is a popular project for creating desktop apps with Chrome web engine and Node.js, while this library allows you to create native desktop apps.
If you want to see some screenshots and example code, check out the sample apps repo: https://github.com/yue/yue-sample-apps.
If you are wondering how this library is different from other GUI toolkits, check out the FAQ: https://github.com/yue/help#faq.
If you want to learn this library quickly, there is a detailed tutorial on using Yue with Node.js: http://libyue.com/docs/v0.2.0/js/guides/getting_started.html.

#3Is that as amazing as I think it is? The Electron killer, the Holy Grail of UI frameworks, the El Dorado of cross-compatibility, the One Library to rule them all?

#4Great job!
Maybe now we'll finally see accessible and efficient GUI apps from those who insist on writing desktop applications with JS.

#5I'm sure this is an amazing project. But the readme and FAQ and such have such an aggressive, almost hostile tone---if you want to communicate with the author at all, even to report a bug, it'll be five thousand bucks a month...

Am I correct in my understanding that this does still use Electron? (And if so, what is it used for?)

Sorry for the unfriendly tone, some of them were written after reading some reddit comments...
And as explained in the FAQ, you can always go to the yue/help repo to report things and I will read them.

#8Is the license similar to the React one?
Edit: Not trying to start a controversy or anything, I've never seen the Microsoft Reciprocal License before, it just looks like a similar idea. I'll just go look it up.

It does not use electron, it is total native and does not use web engines, but it can be used in electron as a Node.js mudule.

I don't get that either.
Also look at https://github.com/yue/help. The author is basically saying "I'm a really cool developer, was there, did that, anything else?". Every single sentence consists of narcissism (or how should I call that?). This is only how I see that, I'm sorry if I offended somebody.
