I’m sick of AI prose and miss the good days when good repos had concise, well-written README.

Like this, but the problem with such immediate mode GUI apps is that they constantly burn 1-2% of CPU when the app is idle. A waste of compute and power.

I'm waiting for Phase 2[1]: especially "Algebraic data types & pattern matching". Current tagged union[2] use is pretty awkward/verbose and lacks exhaustiveness checking and typed error handling. [1] https:/&#x

Indeed! I wrote my note-taking app with a block editor (like Notion) in Qt with QML for the UI and C++ for the logic and it's been an incredible experience![1] [1] https://rubymamistvalove.com/block-editor

The QR code that shows on hovering the "Download" button is very cool! Kudos to the person who came up with that.

I know people would dismiss this, but I'm going to try to make the case for Qt - I'm currently converting my note-taking app to mobile and it's going very well.

Fable was the only model that was able to detect a data corruption bug in my Qt C++ note-taking app[1] that all other tested models (gpt-5.5 xhigh, GLM-5.1, Kimi 2.7, DeepSeek V4 Pro) didn't find. I'll test on GLM-5.2 and Mimo v2

These days you write the logic in C++ and UI in QML which is a very pleasent experience.

It's SwiftUI that is at fault here[1][2], not native apps in general. I wrote my native app in Qt C++ and QML and showed that it is *significantly* faster and uses significantly less RAM than similar web apps[3]. So, no, web apps, in g

Yep, this is a difficult problem. I wrote extensively how I managed to solve this by creating my block editor from scratch using Qt C++ and QML[1]. I faced similar issues - selection between discrete blocks, showing the underlying Markdown

That's not the solution - developers or businesses are squeezed into signing up anyway to survive/make a profit. The only viable alternative is to create an alternative - Linux phones.

We'd have to make Linux on mobile a viable option.

Sounds good to me! If you ever need some architectural help I'd be happy to. I have a lot of experience with Qt and QML, I've created a block editor[1] and an LLM chat client[2] and many other projects. [1] https://ruby

Doesn't OpenCode supports local models?

I wonder if the Snapdragon X Elite already caught up with the Apple's M series in that regard - does anybody know?

I'm glad Chris Lattner moved on and founded Mojo. It's such a cool language with ton of potential.

Can someone list what are some cool/novel BeOS features that other OSes didn’t have at the time and maybe still don’t have?

This is wrong. There's a misconception that you can't statically link your app when using the open-source LGPL version of Qt. From my reading of the LGPL license this doesn't appear to be the case[1]. The LGPL allows you to s

Do you know what Qwen model Composer 1.5 used?

As a Qt C++ and QML developer myself[1], Opus 4.6 thinking is much better than any other model I've tested (Codex 5.3/GPT 5.4/Gemini 3.1 Pro). [1] https://rubymamistvalove.com/block-editor

I guess since Electron apps are 500MB+, 14MB is considered "tiny".

We need Linux OSes and phones to catch up to really break free from this duopoly. Only when there is enough traction, essential infrastructure like banks will start supporting Oses like that. It's a chicken and egg kind of problem.

I just did a quick Google search only on GitHub, maybe there are better ones out there on the internet?

In modern Qt you don't write UI in C++ anymore - you do that in QML. It is far simpler to create amazing pixel perfect UIs with drooling-inducing animations in QML. I wrote a blog post that talks a bit about this[1]. [1] https:/&

This is not because of Qt - it is due to some (most) Qt developers not caring enough. I created my Qt app feel native both on macOS and Windows[1]. It did require a lot of tuning - but those are things I'll reuse across other apps. [1]
