What you call garbage, might be good looking to someone else. He did not say he's trying to replace other GUIs, there's a good use for this. Calling someone's work garbage after you haven't even extensively tried it (it was posted 30 minutes ago) is uncalled for. I think it looks promising and look forward to trying it when I get home.

I'm not a fan of the style that was used (too much blank space, flat UI elements, gives the vibe of a webpage instead of an application that you can do something in, having both a hamburger menu and dropdown menus seems weird), but "garbage" is needlessly harsh. It's useful to be reminded that software development is a process of continuous learning, and that's what this project represents anyhow: Learning a new platform by tying some libraries together into something that's functional and that demonstrates what the developer was trying to learn.
