this version was in Qt

We've since rewritten the whole thing in Dart

didn't expect Dart here. do you use Flutter?

yup! we've been using: https://github.com/ardera/flutter-pi

and we've written a Rust backend system that handles message passing between the front end app, the sensors, I/O, pins, etc

Did you consider react native ?

Saw Zulip happy with now going flutter  and looking forward to their engineering blog (announcement of that blogpost coming lmao https://blog.zulip.com/2024/12/12/new-flutter-mobile-app-beta/)

We looked into a variety of options (Rust GUI like egui or Slint, Qt, PySide, LVGL, gtk, and React) - the performance overhead and runtime of React Native is something that I don't want to run on a limited memory embedded device. Flutter with flutterpi uses native framebuffers (https://learnopengl.com/Advanced-OpenGL/Framebuffers) and was a good balance between existing UI components, but still battle tested on ARM devices etc
