I'm curious, this is a cross-platform UI library. Does anybody know of any alternatives out here that are (if necessary) MacOS-specific but also easy to use and more "native looking"? Maybe a bit drag-and-droppy?
Sometimes I want to build quick and dirty things and a whole proper Mac app on Swift is too much out of my confort zone.
Maybe GTK/glade?
- krelas 3y agoHave you looked at SwiftUI?
- DinaCoder99 3y agoQT is probably the closest you'll get, and at that point you might as well just learn cocoa (or whatever the swift version is called these days, i forget)
- criddell 3y agoI used to use PythonCard but it’s been dead for about a decade now. It was inspired by HyperCard and VB, had a GUI designer, and was super simple. It used used wxWidgets for the GUI so it was native looking if you didn’t push it very hard (ie use only basic GUI elements like buttons, menus, and edit boxes). https://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/walkthrough2.html https://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/walkthrough2.html This is one of those projects where, if I were retired, I’d love to revive.
