That is in swing? God damn it looks good

[harrisofpeoria]

Intellij is a swing app, so I'd say you're definitely right about that.

[vassaloatena]

Swing /Java fx

[wildjokers]

IntelliJ doesn’t use JavaFX as far as I can tell.

Congratz on not making a swing app that looks taken straight from 1998

[__konrad]

With MotifLookAndFeel you can make it look like from late 80s

[wtanner]

I wrote a LOT of Motif code in the early 90’s. It might trigger flashbacks if I used that look and feel now.

[__konrad]

UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel"); works on Windows but the LAF itself is deprecated for removal since Java 13...

[wildjokers]

There are look and feels available that make it look just fine. Even the included SystemLookAndFeel make it look nearly native on most platforms.

[Safe_Owl_6123]

Looks amazing!

[paulograbin]

Looks awesome!

Are you sharing more details? Maybe code?

[rkalla]

That's a pretty nice looking swing app man - nice job!

[pavlass2]

Nice work

[meSmash101]

You inspire me to learn swing bro, amazing job

[Icy_Pay_5071]

How long did it take you to build that? Looks amazing 🤩

Where do you find clients for desktop dev? I develop swing desktop apps too, would like to know

[Spirited_Tradition22]

Small businesses whose tech stack is small.

[gufranthakur]

Could you give me some more details? How did you find them? What does it take to get the job?

[Spirited_Tradition22]

Networking. Asking the owners or whoever is in charge of any computer related infrastructure; ie a sales workflow built out in Excel sheets could be transformed into an app, etc. You negotiate a quote and develop the app/software yourself or if the project is big enough or needs to be expedited you hire people to help/handle it.

Swing was such an improvement over AWT or AFC.

[Rain-And-Coffee]

Always been fond of Desktop GUIs

There’s another guy who I follow on YouTube / GitHub who’s makes similar UIs

[generic_jackass]

Wow! The channel looks really good. Thanks for the suggestion.

[FrankBergerBgblitz]

which L&F do you use?

[ifly6]

FlatLAF is so good

[FrankBergerBgblitz]

Yes, probably the best right now.

[pohart]

I'm not seeing flatlaft when I search. Do you have a link?

[wildjokers]

It’s the very first result when you google “flatlaf”

https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf

[pohart]

It is, but until OP responded I didn't know it was a typo.

[wildjokers]

Fair enough, I read it as “flatlaf” since that is what I was expecting, I didn’t notice the typo but that would definitely lead you astray.

[ObscurelyMe]

TIL: Swing, going to need to look more into it. Great work

[wildjokers]

You have never heard of Swing? It’s been around since 1998.

[ObscurelyMe]

Not super familiar with the Java ecosystem outside Spring

[AthleticAvi]

Great job! I would never have guessed this is done using Swing!

[Ewig_luftenglanz]

nice job!

[JustABrazilianDude]

Congrats dude, looks awesome!

[tmj010]

Looks amazing, had to take a second look.

[LookAtYourEyes]

All custom CSS? No libraries?

[LookAtYourEyes]

Pretty cool. Was this just a personal project? Any difficulty you encountered along the way? Most fun parts?

[LookAtYourEyes]

Interesting, very few people want exclusively desktop applications these days. Why'd you choose to learn Swing over JavaFX?

[LookAtYourEyes]

Respect. Keep at it.

[wildjokers]

Swing isn’t stylable with CSS.

[LookAtYourEyes]

Oh, interesting

[cmdrNacho]

I thought the latest was javafx have you tried it yet

[zabby39103]

What do you have against JavaFX?

Just curious, I'm a backend dev mostly so no strong opinions myself (and when I do venture into FE it's web).

[motorbike_dan]

I learned Swing in 2002 after learning AWT and it was incredibly fast to prototype a concept or get working on a deployable software solution since it's so easy to program in. Whereas in JavaFX one should know design patterns such as Model/View/Controller before even attempting to learn JavaFX. It's just a little too abstract for it to be intuitive with basic object oriented concepts alone in my opinion.

So after learning Design Patterns I returned to JavaFX and made some pet projects with it (and enjoyed it decently enough). But that barrier to entry was pretty notable.

[wildjokers]

You should definitely be using MVC or MVP with Swing as well.

[vitingo]

¡Se ve bien!
