• Python vs. JavaScript: Is It a Fair Comparison?

  JavaScript is a clear winner in the category of mobile development. There are some niche frameworks to do mobile development with Python—like Kivy and PyQT—but pretty much nobody uses them. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• what would be the best looking GUI framework to develop a desktop python application? (other than Tkinter)

  If none of those are to your liking, you can use PyQT (or Pyside) but the learning curve is much steeper. Source: about 3 years ago

• Is there a "Windows Forms" GUI designer for Python?

  Also, there is the PyQt module which is a comprehensive set of Python bindings for the Qt GUI. It has Qt Designer. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Best way to install qutebrowser?

  As for PyQt, that's developed entirely independently from Qt (by Riverbank Computing). The major/minor versions usually line up with the respective Qt releases (since the Qt release introduces new APIs, so a new PyQt release is needed to expose those to Python). However, it's versioned independently, and a new patch release of PyQt might be needed before/without Qt releasing a new patch release. For more details,... Source: about 4 years ago

• Digital Audio Workstation Front End Development Struggles

  There's a relatively new C++ GUI library literally called "Elements". Not sure how it works though, but the way it looks, and the music background of its creator makes it appear designed for DAWs. https://github.com/cycfi/elements. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Introducing Slint 1.0 - The Next-Generation GUI Toolkit with C++20 APIs

  Further, if you we want a "modern" C++ GUI framework what actually would be modern would be to use mechanisms in the language itself as a quasi-DSL from within the language. This is something like what Joel de Guzman is doing with Elements. Source: about 2 years ago

• Boost.URL ACCEPTED, get the beta now!

  It's a complex domain. The closest we have at the moment is Elements which hasn't been proposed for Boost (yet?) but is by Joel de Guzman, the primary author of Boost.Spirit. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there any MIT/BSD licensed UI framework for C++ ?

  Elements was mentioned as a specific example of an MIT-licensed GUI library on the CPPcast episode from 5 May 2022. Source: almost 3 years ago

• GUI for software, not games, but lighter than Qt ?

  If you don't want to use Qt I honestly think your best bet may be to become an early adopter of cycfi elements depending on your project. Elements is still rough but is useable for small applications. I think when it is finished it will be the best choice for a retained mode GUI library, but right now it is missing a lot of things (e.g. The standard common dialogs, "open", "Save as", etc.) , and has basically zero...
