Am I the only one that has a problem with all non dom/html renderers that I can't copy the text on mobile? The same with flutter etc, it's such a regression in my eyes but nobody prioritizes it.

#62I see widgets that are added to a UI using .add()
"You should put this widget in a ui with `ui.add(widget);"
https://github.com/emilk/egui/blob/master/crates/egui/src/wi...There appears to be a fluent builder API for these widgets. Is that what makes it "immediate mode"?

It also means worse accessibility, less introspection, automation, worse/impossible adblocking, etc.
> worse/impossible adblocking Obviously that's not a downside from a software developer perspective.

#66Demo pages like this are fun, and technically impressive when compiled to a browser environment. But I suffer from a lack of imagination so these widget demos don't really help me envision what an egui-powered app can do or might look like. Does anyone have any examples of fun things that use egui?

Selecting text can be useful, but it can also become its own usability problem. I recently created a touch interface using a websocket/browser based stack and one of the problem was that users kept selecting the text on buttons because they expected some action while holding the button.

You generally can't copy text in native UIs unless the app author goes to extra effort to allow it. It's really the web that is the odd one out here because it was originally intended for documents.
You mean mobile apps, right? With desktop UIs this has traditionally never been an issue.
