Awesome project

[parro-it]

Hi, libui-node author here.
I'm writing just to say hi and compliment for this awesome project.
Feel free to /CC me if you get problem related to the native part of the project, I'll try to help as I can...

👋🏻

Hi Andrea! Thank you 🙂. I was just going to reach out to you and say hi as well.

I will definitely need some help with the native part. I have some basic knowledge about Windows API, but I've never done anything related to GTK+ or OS X. I realize that the future of Vuido depends largely on both libui and libui-node, so I'm open for collaboration.

One little thing that immediately comes to my mind is the lack of an insert method for containers. I had to work around this by removing and re-appending all children following the one I need to insert.

Another much higher level problem is that at the moment there's apparently no easy way to package and distribute an application using libui-node for end users. I have a solution for this in my mind, but I have to experiment a bit to see if this is practical.

You may follow these issues about packaging an app: parro-it/libui-node#108 and kusti8/proton-native#43.

Maybe the same tools that are being developed for proton-native could be used by vuido too

There is an issue on libui tracking feature requests for containers: andlabs/libui#328. You may try to ask there first.

Which specific container are you concerned about? Or all of them?

[mimecorg]

Yes, proton-native and vuido can definitely reuse the same packaging tools. I saw the solution based on electron-builder, I have to take a closer look at it, but I will have to wait for Windows support.

So far I only implemented the horizontal/vertical box container, but as far as I looked into the docs, they all have this limitation.

Yes neither of these have an insertAt method

Congrats for all the stars, you deserves it!

Hi,
nice project. Im overwhelmed.
Question: Would it be hard to add an html + CSS rendering or is it even possible already?

[mischnic]

@konstantinsteinmiller If your looking for a web view component, then not in the near future: andlabs/libui#315.

[konstantinsteinmiller]

ahh ok, thats sad. But could be a major enabler for Webdevelopers.

[uniquejava]

Wow!!! if it could integrate something like webview.. we would reuse all javascript chart libraries like d3.js, echarts. that would be awesome.

[mimecorg]

Guys, the whole point of Vuido is to have a lightweight alternative if you don’t need HTML and CSS. Otherwise it’s better to use Electron, Vue.js works fine there 😊.

I think this is not related to this project directly. Though it may be interesting to see how weex / nativescript compile components and check if it can be integrated along with vuido
