Oh that's awesome to hear! I have been playing with the idea of creating a desktop environment. Don't know if necessarily using i3wm but it's good to have your library if I do (:

Nice! Thanks for that.

I'm interested in the same! There are plenty of resources for C[1][2]. I just looked into my old notes and found a post for C++[3]. [1] https://btmc.substack.com/p/memory-unsafety-is-an-attitude-p... [2] https:&#

Yes! I'm not using Qt's built-in components like StackView, but reimplementing them from scratch to better support swipe gestures, etc so they feel native-like.

I agree. Modern Qt is great - you get the performance of C++ and the ease of use (simpler than React!) of creating UIs in QML. I've built my note-taking app with a from scratch block editor[1] (like Notions's) with it. Now working

That would be awesome (:

This is awesome. Would love to see if it catches some of the Qt bugs I found but haven't been resolved yet[1]. [1] https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTBUG-122658

As a FOSS maintainer myself, I recommend you to charge (a small amount of) money for the app. People could always compile and run the app themselves still, so paying for the app is a clear way to support the project. I see that you have don

Yes, this is really annoying.

We need countries to start legally enforce that. Nothing will change otherwise. I stopped open sourcing my code and LLMs are one of the big reason.

TypeScript transpile to Javascript - do you really want your operating system's shell written in slow ass Javascript? Modern C++ with hardening rules for the compiler[1] is pretty safe. [1] https://best.openssf.org/Comp

There's no soul in major OSes these days - Windows is a big bloatware and macOS's aesthetics is the result of design for the sake of the design instead of any practical use. No wonder we're seeing this sentiment for an altern

I also write complex UIs with QML and C++. I do not consider myself an expert in C++ but there is clearly a subset of it that I feel comfortable in. I think the combo of QML & C++ is great since QML lets you focus on the UI - and does a

Hi there! I'm curious about the use cases people you know used Qt to develop for mobile. Do you mind expanding on this? I'd love if you could also contact me (my socials are in my profile) as I'm developing a set of component
