GuiLite: Small, cute GUI effects you can reuse
- dcoupl 7y agoDid anyone notice the demo for "Animation" on the demo wall of the Git repo README? Lol and WTF
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoProbably a poor choice for a demo. Shouldn't be using any demo material which would cause you to pay more attention to the content than the tech.
- jcahill 7y agoThat's just your brain on HN misery mode, where all earthly concerns bow in vague allegiance to business logic that may not even exist. It's also wrong in principle: memorable demos remain the most culturally-significant standalone things associated with tech since the 1960s.
- akiselev 7y agoThose memorable demos were called things like "The Mother of all Demos" not "Cute things [...]"
- jcahill 7y agoSuperficially 'bad' demos also work like this. Getting people talking about your stuff because they're motivated enough to have a pineapple-on-pizza type of argument over the demo is canny and bigtechs do this deliberately. "Did anyone notice <demo>? LOL and WTF" is why we're communicating now.

- jldugger 7y agoI don't think I'm qualified to comment further on how it might piss someone off without pissing someone else off, but: It's a trans... former.
- bdcravens 7y agoWell, the logo is stylized after PornHub
- nirui 7y agoYeah somebody made a "PornHub Style Logo Generator": https://github.com/kasuganosoras/logo-maker https://github.com/kasuganosoras/logo-maker (You can also found many of them online as well) I guess that's where the logo was generated.
- jshevek 7y agoVideo demo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=grqXEz3bdC0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=grqXEz3bdC0
- butz 7y agoIf you are actually searching for tiny GUI library that can run on embedded devices and additionally supports Micropython bindings, check out https://littlevgl.com/ https://littlevgl.com/ .
- tyhoff 7y agoI’m also intrigued by Qt for MCU’s. It looks very promising and the toolset to compliment the library is likely better than anything else for the embedded space. https://www.qt.io/qt-for-mcus https://www.qt.io/qt-for-mcus I really wish we had open-sourced the UI framework we built for the Pebble firmware.
- shandor 7y agoQt for MCUs is definitely interesting, but I wonder if they are able to go quite as low resource-wise as these other lite-graphics libraries (like Littlevgl mentioned in another comment). TFA boasts RAM usage of 9kb. That's something you can run on almost a literal potato, and I'd be frankly astonished if Qt devs have been able to go as low. On the other hand, you can build a somewhat nice system with graphics already with a Cortex-M4 and 512 kb of RAM. That sounds something that Qt just might be able to reach, which would be quite awesome.
- rhn_mk1 7y agoWhat's the obstacle for making the Pebble framework open now that Pebble is gone?
- sjburt 7y agoFitbit bought the company and presumably the IP (what else is there to buy?) so it would be up to them.
- thebruce87m 7y agoLittleVGL is MIT licensed. QT is GPL and LGPLv3.
- samatman 7y agoAh, but is it pronounced Gooy-lite, or Guil-ite, like a mineral?
- marvy 7y agoThis time I think its the first one :)
- rkagerer 7y agoIt'd be nice if you could zoom in on that Demo wall on mobile (I couldn't on Chrome on Android).
- ozbonus 7y agoTry zooming in on something outside of the table and then scrolling to it. Worked for me with the same setup.
- johnlorentzson 7y agoThere's quite a bit of engrish on that page. That combined with the logo doesn't really give a good first impression. That aside, it looks pretty interesting.
- girvo 7y agoThere’s quite a few libraries by amazing Chinese developers out there with lacking English documentation, but I can at least speak for swoole and say the code is usually fantastic and worth reading through. Hell, these days I barely trust actual docs anyway
- jeffadotio 7y agoI am guessing that the logo was generated from a website that mimics well-known logos. This is probably the best argument against using such a logo. I kept wondering why the creator wanted this to be associated with adult content.
- skrebbel 7y agoThat, or it's on purpose and considered funny? FWIW I think it's quite witty.
- herman_toothrot 7y agoDid it get changed? I don't see any adult content related logo.
- StavrosK 7y agoIt looks like the PornHub logo, I believe that's what the GP was referring to.
- Skunkleton 7y agoNot that there’s anything wrong with that.
- StavrosK 7y agoIndeed there's not, apart from the slight tackiness of your logo looking like another logo. I don't see why it's more objectionable than looking like the YouTube logo, say.

- bdcravens 7y agoWell at least one of the demo is NSFWish so perhaps that was intentional.
- fermienrico 7y agoI love RamTeX: https://www.ramtex.dk/ https://www.ramtex.dk/ Ultra minimal, designed by greybeards. No bullshit, just UI. It's amazing. If you want to build super fast, responsive and pleasure to use embedded devices, look into RamTeX library. It is not free, but its cheap. I've talked to them a few times, they're super cool people.

- adamnemecek 7y agoCan anyone recommend a good widget layout implementation?
- shruubi 7y agowhy do I care that this is "cute"? I want a cute puppy, not my software to be cute. If your product has novelty animations, stupid colours or uses emoji's in any way I want nothing to do with that childish bullshit.
- ducktective 7y agoAnyone used https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear https://github.com/vurtun/nuklear ?
- buserror 7y agoI used Nuklear for a couple of project that needed a little bit of UI, it's pretty neat to add some UI to an OpenGL or similar project. It's more targeted at "game UIs" and the like tho, where the UI isn't the main component..
