Revive using `libui-ng`

Open enderger opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

While the original libui project is currently in hiatus for an unknown timespan, a fork exists that has active development. Rebasing on it would remove a factor that is likely stalling development, and could allow development of this library to resume should the incentive exist (and it seems likely that the demand for an updated GUI library for Nim is rather high at the moment).

True but I prefer the native Nim UI toolkit these days. I have no interest in wrapping bullshit C code anymore, it's just a liability and a technological dead-end.

But is there a muliplatform gui library (besides nimx)?

NiGUI seems promising, though this library definitely could better serve a number of use cases.

I created a fork of this library that does wrap libui-ng. Check it out.
