I’ve always liked #GUI, both #desktop-based and browser-based before you needed five years of training on the latter. That’s the reason I loved, and still love #Vaadin: you can develop web UIs without writing a single line of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. I’m still interested in the subject.
Been doing a lot of looking around different (graphic) user interface projects over the past year and I'm starting to build a better understanding of first things I think about or look for, mostly from a technical standpoint...
This 1-day workshop at #OxidizeConf begins with an introduction to @slint, a Rust-based declarative #GUI toolkit. By the end of the workshop, you will have built a fully functioning cross-platform application in Rust. #RustLang
Dive into a live coding session & develop a simple application using @slint
Learn how Slint enables the creation of applications that can run seamlessly across various platforms with minimal adjustments, showcasing the framework’s versatility and efficiency. #RustLang#GUI#Slint
David Vincze delve into the similarities, advantages, enhancements, challenges, and intricacies of adopting Slint as an alternative to Qt QML. Is the transition to Slint a worthwhile endeavour?
David will discuss this question, exploring the feasibility, benefits, and potential pitfalls of integrating Rust and Slint in the #GUI development landscape. #Rustlang#QtDev@slint
Love it when applications respect platform conventions. I had a Fantastical alert with 12 replies that I had to click OK on… and then I thought… if Command-W is Close window, and Command-Option-W is Close all windows… and that works also by Option-clicking the close button of a window… maybe Option-clicking OK will do the trick?
Sure enough, as soon as I pressed the Option key, the button changed to OK to all. Thanks, @flexibits!
So every app using it has all of #Electron’s disadvantages:
• lowest-common-denominator #GUI obviously foreign to the host OS
• non-portable shims to integrate with host OS features
• an individually bespoke runtime consuming storage, memory, and compute as if it were a separate virtual machine
