Tokamak VS SnapKit

I’m also working (slowly) on native Flutter channels:

But this is really targeted at embedded use cases.

There is Tokamak but I don't know how usable it is just yet.

TokamakUI runs via SwiftUI on WASM for web. Apple just hired the creator of the framework.

You can even make web apps by creating web components in swift with Tokamak.

I am playing around with Tokamak just for a bit of fun and learning, and it's been pretty solid so far! Though I want to branch out and play with some dynamic data from a random API, instead of just using mocked/pre-populated data.

There is SwiftWasm that compiles swift into WebAssembly so you can run it in the browser, but swift can't directly manipulate the DOM so you'd still need JavaScript or something like TokamakUI so you can design the front-end portion of your app.

SnapCode is actually using SnapKit (https://github.com/reportmill/SnapKit) which can run on either WebAPI/DOM (in browser) or Swing (desktop). In the browser this helps slim the download and improve performance by using more browser native code.

For pricing, SnapCode is free for individual use and will remain so. Perhaps there will be funding opportunities from large organizations or for embedding use cases to help provide for the continued health of the product and community.

The new kid on the block is SnapKit: https://github.com/reportmill/SnapKit

Theres a bit more to it than that, since you want resetUI to update all of your components without triggering respondUI(). And you want all your components to be automatically configured to call respondUI() when there is user interaction.

I’ve written one of these before, but I don’t have access to a public version anymore. I do all my current UI dev in a UI kit built on top of Swing. But here is what I use there that solves this problem:

I use SnapKit to do Java desktop development which compiles easily to JavaScript using TeaVM. SnapKit is both modern and conventional, a good middle ground between Swing and JavaFX. But most importantly, it combines the traditional win of desktop Java UI dev with the ease of web deployment.
