On macOS and Windows, the menubar is native. On Windows, context menus are, too. On macOS it‘s a small patch away, we just haven‘t gotten around. ( https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/blob/7bb333c77dd477f8625c8..

What’s the difference between having your data in an AWS data center versus having it in Hetzner’s data center from the point of view of “private data in cloud”? (Good move IMO nevertheless)

If you scroll all the way down, you can see at least a similar look of “the band” :)

The closest I can think of is for you to insert one or multiple soft-hyphens.

We do have initial support for screen readers. That’s using accesskit, or Qt when using the Qt backend. It’s still basic, some controls like text input need work, or customizing the focus chain. Building blocks are there and will need furth

We're working on interop, so that when you select Slint's Skia renderer on top of Vulkan or Metal, you can import a wgpu texture if wgpu's Metal or Vulkan adapter was chosen. What kind of feature set do you need?

We're not trying to be clever, TBH. There are many excellent alternatives out there in the Rust world. Our choice of Rust is primarily a technical choice, and later we found out that it's also a fantastic community to be part of.

Short of building distribution packages and offering those as binaries for the download, this seems like a simple way to offer a download. It's not perfect though, and I think we're going to try to create binaries for download alt

One of the lesson that I believe is being learned is that general purpose programming languages for UIs make it difficult to do tooling, especially with dynamic typing. This particular approach (.60) is not a general purpose programming lan

Maybe it could be brought over the top by compiling Qt to wasm and mixing that in. A bit tricky with the emscripten runtime vs wasm32-unknown-unknown target mixing of Rust though ;-). Jokes aside, we added this embedding because of a specif

Python should be fairly straightforward to do. Golang with the interpreter we well, but the RealThing(tm) would be a full code generator and binding to the runtime library. That would be awesome, but a little bit more work. I quite like Go,

Sad to hear that it’s not fluent for you :( We went for dual licensing (GPL / commercial) in hope of creating a sustainable project. We do have basic focus handling but the demos don’t really try to show that off - that’s more tailored

Lsp can be used with any IDE, better markup language (static typing, proper module concept), rust and JS APIs, markup compiled to proper C++/Rust AOT, compiler can do asset optimizations (todo) - for example:). In short: we try to do o

We try hard to avoid that. No magic context properties, good modularity across files (js module concept). Easy to write components. But there is more work to be done.

The software is not built on Qt. The compiler and runtime is written in Rust (Qt is C++), the renderer is a lightweight GLES 2.0 renderer and winit is used for window creation and events. The runtime’s API is available as plain C++ API (on

Cool! I’d say that’s the very low end for us, but we think that it should be possible to create decent UIs also for such configurations. It would require additional work for us to target that right now but we’d be happy to take that offline

Hi ddeck! We need to make our description a bit more precise - and we're working on comparisons. In terms of pure RAM usage (as opposed to ROM) in our experience the display resolution contributes a lot to what's left (unless ther
