Tried the first demo. Couldn't select text. Couldn't right-click. Scrolling didn't work.
I predict this will be what news sites are built on a few years from now in order to "protect" their content.
- dyarosla 7y agoI don't believe it's meant to be a replacement for interactive web pages but as a browser-based viewer for QT's file format. With that in mind, your qualms aren't quite applicable here.
- gpderetta 7y agoThe technology itself is amazing, and as long as it was used for replacement for desktop and mobile ask it would be great, but I have the same fear that it might replace proper web sites. Hopefully the need to be discoverable by search engines will mean that most sites will still use the dom, but at some point Google might provide a proprietary crawling interface...
- shaan7 7y agoWell there is this in the post- "Please try out the Qt Design Viewer, but keep in mind that this is a technical preview. Bugs and issues can be reported here. The viewer application is fully open source." So bugs are expected.
- de_watcher 7y agoSelect? Right-click? It's not enabled in the properties of the elements by default, so it's not selectable by default because it's a GUI, not a web document. Web developers have forgotten what an app is while trying to write apps by using tools meant for Web documents. There was a TextEdit example where you select text.
