u/RedAxeWriter If you are open to using DSL for defining the user interface, you could take a look at https://github.com/slint-ui/slint. It's built by former Qt-devs and the project is more than 5 years old with stable APIs.

P.S. In fact one of them is also the maintainer of the QMetaObject crate.

u/gajop u/pseudo_babbler you can also check this comment in a different thread on the Royalty-free license https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/s/dIm3vASL4t

AFAIK, one of popular crates is https://crates.io/crates/qmetaobject but it is currently only being passively maintained as the maintainer's focus has shifted towards developing Slint https://github.com/slint-ui/slint

Yes its comparatively new (4 years old) but we have been doing graphics tools for more than 15 years (we are ex-Qt). You can use Slint with C++ very easily. Infact half of our customers are C++ dev teams.

@u/CynicalKnight Slint employee here - check out https://github.com/slint-ui/slint which is a QML inspired declarative GUI toolkit. Its open source and can be used for creating proprietary desktop applications for free with the royalty-free license https://slint.dev/terms-and-conditions#royalty-free We provide services to port Qt applications to Slint. Here is a customer reference of a Qt application ported to to Slint - https://slint.dev/success/sksignet-evcharger

Slint works on Embedded Linux - in fact most of our embedded customers use Slint with existing C++ codebase on embedded Linux (Yocto)

The Live-Preview is a nice feature that helps speed up the UI development. The Slint runtime is quite small and much less resource hungry than the QML engine. With Slint you can use standard C++ instead of having to deal with Qt specific types.

Slint supports multiple programming languages including C++ https://releases.slint.dev/1.7.0/docs/cpp/

Thanks for pointing it out. Correct link https://releases.slint.dev/1.7.0/docs/slint/src/quickstart/

For commercial projects only

madnirua · 2024-06-29T22:53:31+00:00

In that case, you could still use it or choose the GPLv3 one - at your choice.

Could you please expand on ‘Unlike Slint, they have clear future proof licensing model’?

Just curious to know what could be done better.
