RecyclerView + Glide alternatives?
You can have a look at the VirtualizedFX which is a virtual flow that is written from scratch and inspired by Flowless. The author Palexdev (I think the person is on reddit), took inspiration from Flowless, and has documented the code quite well. You can have a look and also implement a virtual grid with it such as a GridView. Honestly, I tried making my virtual flow, that is simple with a few classes as possible (with adequate success), and the inspiration came from it. The VirtualizedFX has now been incorporated in MaterialFX which is another main project by the same author.

JavaFX table view not auto updating.

Migrating a JavaFX app to AtlantaFX themes
Probably MaterialFX, but I haven't worked with it yet.

How to make cards UI in JavaFX?
Unfortunately I'd like to say I have implemented them in my MaterialFX library but I still haven't done it Definitely on the ROADMAP though
-
MaterialFX reaches version 11.13.2
You can check the full change list here: Changelog

How do you limit the character input in a textfeild
You can also check out MaterialFX, the MFXTextField has an inbuilt feature to limit the characters

VirtualizedFX, a new VirtualFlow library for JavaFX
Currently, I use Flowless in my main project, MaterialFX and I really like its performance, its cells' concept, but it has some serious flaws:
-
How to prevent squashed elements in GUI on first launch
There's a way to calculate the minimum required width so that the text is not truncated. Check this utility in my JavaFX library: MaterialFX, LabelUtils
-
How to make an auto complete text field?
I could add the control to my project MaterialFX, but I recently did a huge update and currently I'm taking a little pause as usual. If you can wait you gave me a good idea and I can definitely add an auto complete field in the ROADMAP list. I can't give any ETA though

My attempt at modern UI-design with JavaFX
Not bad, well done but... Did you know that there's a successor to JFoenix? Take a look at my library here MaterialFX

Any library you would like to recommend to others as it helps you a lot? For me, mapstruct is one of them. Hopefully I would hear some other nice libraries I never try.
AtlantaFX & CSSFX for styling in JavaFX

Win32 App Isolation
JVM UI isn't so bad. I've written some pretty modern looking UI with it. The sophisticated controls are all there.
Modern JavaFX theme: https://github.com/mkpaz/atlantafx
Modern Swing theme: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
And these days Compose Multiplatform: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-multiplatform/
I tend to use Kotlin rather than Java but of course Java is perfectly fine too. You can also use Clojure.
If you use any of those frameworks you can distribute to Win/Mac/Linux in one command with Conveyor. It's free for open source apps and can do self-signing for Windows if you don't want to pay for the certificates or the Store (but the Store is super cheap these days, $19 one off payment for an individual). Also supports Electron and Flutter if you want to use those.
From those frameworks you can then access whatever parts of the Windows API you want. Flutter even has WinRT bindings these days! So it's not quite so bad.

Podman Desktop 1.0
Objectively by what measure?
Bear in mind that there are alternatives: JavaFX and Compose for Desktop are the ones I know best. They can be used from high level and popular languages. JavaFX is particularly good for desktop apps and can be compiled down to purely native code that starts as fast as an app written in C++ (likewise for Compose but the experiments with that are newer).
There are some downsides: fewer people know them than with HTML. There are a few tweaks like window styles on macOS it could use to be more modern. On the other hand, it's easy to learn and you benefit from a proper reactively bindable widget library, like table and tree views if you need those. For developer tools such widgets can be useful.
There's a modern theme for JavaFX here:
https://github.com/mkpaz/atlantafx
CfD uses Material Design of course, but you can customize it.
Having written desktop apps of varying complexity in all these frameworks, I can't say Electron is clearly superior. It is in some cases (e.g. if I was wanting to write a video conferencing app then it makes sense to re-use Google's investment into Hangouts/Meet for that), but it's also worse in some cases. For instance the multi-process model constantly gets in the way, but you can't disable it as otherwise XSS turns into RCE.

A new connection manager and remote file explorer created with Java(FX) - X-Pipe Status Update
The JavaFX styling was completely switched to AtlantaFX in order to achieve the best possible look. This library is honestly the best that you can get if you want your application to have a good and uniform look + dark mode support that doesn't look like we are in the year 2010:

New AtlantaFX themes
I was really inspired of Dracula color palette, so I decided to spend some time to create a couple of new themes for AtlantaFX. They still need some polishing, but now the project supports 7 themes in total. Here's some preview of Dracula theme and the new classic tab style.

Migrating a JavaFX app to AtlantaFX themes
The video shows different screens of a JavaFX app before and after migrating from a custom styling (left) to AtlantaFX themes (right). In the first step we were primarily focused on colors/borders and dark mode, so many of the controls are still based on JFoenix (obsolete) and will be migrated in the next step.
-
Is JavaFX a viable solution for this project?
That said if you like Java and feel productive you absolutely can use it to build great desktop apps. Check out https://github.com/mkpaz/atlantafx for great modern look and feel. Lots of other great resources.
-
Dark mode for JavaFX/Swing is out! please leave a star if you like it!
Technically, it's not a theme, because it works on top of Modena, you only recolored some controls. Check AtlantaFX, it supports all JavaFX controls. You can even compile your own theme from it.
