GUIs don't need to be heavyweight to be accessible or internationalized (excepting for text translations, which should be downloaded rather than installed)
- jan_Inkepa 6y agoWhy should text translations be downloaded rather than installed? Oh, you mean not included by default in the installer? I'm not sure why that's very material here.
- wyattpeak 6y agoI suspect the parent isn't talking about theoretical implementations but choosing an existing GUI framework for a project. I don't know much about GUIs but lightweight tools often fail to take accessibility into account, and hand-rolled tools almost always do.
