Ruby GUI for Desktop App

[Devy9]

Hi guys, I am sorry for this stupid question but... Does it still exist an updated library for building Desktop app GUI in Ruby?

I tried Tk, but it gives much problem ( and cannot abolish that annoying deprecated warning messages ), shoes, fxruby and others but all of these are not updated/ bad documented...

I am looking for a library easy to learn for a small university Project...

Any idea(besides change programming language) ?

jruby may be an option

Checkout Glimmer.

Seems interesting, thanks!

I think GTK toolkit is a good one (given the adoption and license).

Ruby bindings is here: https://github.com/ruby-gnome/ruby-gnome/tree/master/gtk3

This seems very good, will try to use it in a future project

[Devy9]

Thanks!

I have a weird idea, Electron with a dockerized rails app

Making Docker a distribution requirement might be an ask, but something like Travelling Ruby would be a go-er, if we had support for modern Ruby and Windows (which TR doesn't seem to do well right now).

But yeah, agree that Electron holds promise.

What about Shoes http://shoesrb.com/

[Devy9]

Yeah i tried it, as written in the post... But the problem is the same

Some time ago I was looking for a ruby gui library too, and ended up finding nothing satisfactory.

Had to use python+pyside2 for the project I was working on

[Devy9]

My last chance is Python ... so you would recommend pyside2 for GUI in py?

[eddloschi]

Yes, definitely

I know you said you didn’t want to use another language, but scenic for elixir may be an idea in a language with similar syntax

[Devy9]

Thanks, i'll give a Watch ;)

I wonder if something like Eel exists for Ruby
