There used to be a visual form builder. Nobody used it to build applications, so it was eventually removed. Nowadays, GUI stuff for most applications are written in the GML language, which is Serenity-specific. You can look through the source code to see examples.
- qwerty456127 5y agoWhy did it have to be removed? Why not just put it in maintenance mode without adding new features if there is not enough demand?
- akling 5y agoI built it, believing it was going to be useful. In the end, it was not. There's no point in keeping unused features around, since the system is just for ourselves. Since then, we've built a markup language for interface design (GML) which has made GUI development significantly easier, so that's what we're focusing on instead. If someone wants to build a visual design tool on top of GML, they are obviously free to do so, but as with everything else in SerenityOS, people work on what they themselves are interested in. :)
- qwerty456127 5y agoI see. Thank you. I will try the GML. PS: By the way, do your neighbours know you are a genius developer superhero? :-)
