Slint ?

There is Slint - https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/ - UI renders natively (without a browser) - Slint uses a declarative UI that should be intuitive to use for developers / designers / agents. - Can be

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 about them. It has even way more buttons than ours (most don&#x2

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 browser engine, it renders with its own lightweight toolkit

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 matters more than squeezing out maximum performance. And w

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 on Slint ( https://slint.dev ): It&#x27

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

> 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 Slint's android backend.

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 IME. Including text selection with the native hand

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.

by ogoffart 10mo ago
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 legacy systems. For new projects, though, there's less rea

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 DSL. This topic comes up often, so I wrote a blog p

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 framework. I actually wrote a blog post about th

We're building Slint as a business. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain and improve it. We're not looking to support users who want to use it in proprietary software and give absolutely nothing back, not even a small cre
