Features

  • Cross platform. Should work on major Linux flavours, Windows and MacOS
  • Low CPU and memory footprint. Current CPU stays at 0% on idle and memory usage is under 20mb for a hello world program.
  • (Partial support is present) Easily exstensible for creating custom native widgets (like react native).
  • Support for flex box layouting using Yoga.
  • Supports styling using css (includes actual cascading) or atleast useful subset of css properties.
  • Complete Nodejs api support (Currently runs on Node v12 - and is easily upgradable).
  • Can use all node compatible npm modules.
  • Native widget event listener support.
  • Should be usable for commercial applications aswell.
  • (Partial) Should have a decent list of stylable native widgets.
  • Easy build and packaging process.
  • Good Devtools support (hot reload, live reload, debugging etc).
  • Good documentation and website.
  • Good documentation for contributors.
  • Good support for dark mode (Thanks to QT).
  • Typescript support
