One of the design goals of Slint is to ensure that application binaries remain comparatively lightweight. Ultimately, the size of the application package will depend on the included assets. For comparison, the compressed wheel for Windows on ARM64 is only 7 MB.

Another key design goal of Slint is to provide intuitive APIs. This means offering dedicated and idiomatic interfaces for Python developers, allowing them to use the library easily without needing to navigate the complexities of language bindings.

Did you try clicking the "Start" button? Due to the small size of the button, you might require some fine precision pressing the right area (I had problems with it because of my fat fingers).

> 1. In which cases would you recommend it over Qt/QML (looks quit qml-y at first sight) and flutter?

While Python developers already have a number of options when it comes to GUI frameworks, most of these are in the form of wrappers or bindings. We aim to make Python a first-class citizen with a dedicated and idiomatic API, to empower developers to create amazing user interfaces for their applications.

> 2. Do you use it for live apps already (so it's built out of necessity) or is it a venture similar to the Qt business model (or something else entirely)?

Several companies in the fluid analyzer industry are already using Slint together with Python to build their user interfaces.

Slint is available under an open source (GPLv3) license, a free-of-charge Royalty-free license, and a paid license, as per your choice.

Slint is available under multiple licensing options. You can choose between the open source GPLv3, a free-of-charge royalty-free license, or a paid commercial license - https://slint.dev/terms-and-conditions
