Tangential question, but why did Audacity seem like the obvious choice? Not a knock on the product - I use it often - but I'm just curious about why it was chosen.
- samwillis 4y agoAudacity is one of the largest (if not the largest?) still active projects using wxWidgets, it seems like fairly obvious if you are somewhat aware of that.
- tambourine_man 4y agoWhy did wxWidgets fell out of favor?
- samwillis 4y agoI don't think it did, the world just moved to mobile and web based apps, then backward towards the desktop with Electron. I would say wxWidget and QT are probably still the most used cross platform desktop GUI toolkits.
- ekianjo 4y agoNot used much anywhere.
- klodolph 4y agoI think there were some problems with wxWidgets and generally people moved to Qt, if they were still making cross-platform desktop apps, and if they haven’t migrated to Electron.
- ahilss 4y agoIt's probably the most visible project using the wxWidgets framework and in the audio domain which fits well with my experience building the DJ app.
