Juce is another interesting UI lib https://www.juce.com/ https://www.juce.com/
Works with Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iOS and Android.
Strangely, juce seems to have a revamped website that has no pictures or screenshots of the juce user interface and its widgets. Weird. Not sure how effective that marketing is...
- gbugniot 10y agoI guess what makes Libui interesting is its C language implementation.
- aksx 10y agoJuce is a great library but it doesn't target the native feel (last time i checked) which libui does.
- douche 10y agoI know, we always do this, but... I hate this website. I feel like I'm looking at a Medium post, stuff is popping around as I scroll, hero carousel, unclear Metro-style tiles that turn black and disappear the text on mouse-over, the works. Spent way too much time trying to figure out where the API docs and examples were hidden.
- hoodoof 10y agoI have to say I agree. The old site was plain and simple and straightforward. I think a site can look great but doesn't need to be overly fancy. (says me, now I'll get back to implementing that fancy UI feature).
- roywiggins 10y agoAgreed 110%. Gimme a screenshot of something built with it, a snippet of a Hello World, tell me where it runs, point me to the docs, and point me to a download. I can't use scrolling pictures of people looking at code(!), I'm not about to watch a keynote, I don't want a "developer story", I don't want links to "companies using"! I shouldn't need to click twice to get to "features," that ought to be the first thing I see! The remainder might well be useful for some audiences, and as jumping-off point to get a sense of the ecosystem and community around the software, but put it at least a little bit below the fold.
- hoodoof 10y agoJudging from all the jobs listed on the Juce careers page it looks like they got a bunch of investment money and spent it on "going corporate". Here's what Sensei Jeff has to say about that: https://blog.codinghorror.com/if-it-looks-corporate-change-it/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/if-it-looks-corporate-change-i...
- tomc1985 10y agoJuce UI apps looked pretty bad with stock UIs. But it's used a lot in the music plugin community, where custom skins are king.
