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

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

this was another one we looked into, similar strategy overall. ended up using flutterpi, we'll see if that was the right choice, or we'll have to write our own embedder. time will tell

also no need for x11 and wayland was a nice touch, allowed us to throw the whole GUI out the window of the OS
