The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

I'd like to share my first impressions of yesod and haskell
I don't know about gloss, but building a game with sdl2 been fairly straightforward for a few years now, and I know of one gtk3 tutorial, but also monomer seem to have pretty good tutorials and examples.
- Suggestions for "dashboard" graphics libraries?

SimpleX Chat - the first messaging platform that has no user identifiers (not even random numbers) - v3.0 of iOS and Android apps is released - coded in Haskell!
I would like to suggest the following Haskell GUI-library for the desktop application: https://github.com/fjvallarino/monomer

Help with running openGL applications
I recently tried building a monomer application, hoping to get it to run on my phone phone (currently I'm running the latest Manjaro phosh demo).

GUI with electron vs monomer performance
i was considering an electron app with pure script or GHCJS and then i came across https://github.com/fjvallarino/monomer and i would like to pursue it. I am just wondering if anybody knows how does it perform compared to an electron based app?

Is Haskell capable of this?
If you're looking into creating UIs, Monomer provides a declarative style inspired on Elm's architecture.

What projects to make in Haskell?
If you used Swift UI and like creating GUIs declaratively, Monomer may interest you.

Can't install WxHaskell on Windows
monomer is probably the newest GUI library for Haskell. It looks good, though I haven’t tried it.

What practice programs or knowledge should I learn to do "real" projects in Haskell
Not if you use my Threepenny-gui library. 😉

Is threepenny-gui really reactive?
If you really want FRP, use Obelisk (based on Reflex-Dom. I will call just say "Obelisk" to refer to Obelisk's dependencies Reflex-Dom, Reflex,... too). I like the author of threepenny-gui and the library has the great advantages of not needing GHCJS (Obelisk does not need GHCJS either theoretically but I do not know how easy it currently is to make it work without) nor Nix. But the library was originally built as a non-FRP library and it has been lacking essential FRP combinators for a long time.

How is it going with desktop apps nowadays? What happened to wxHaskell?
The threepenny-gui library is probably best if you just want a simple way to make GUIs. However, it doesn't really do desktop GUIs as such: it displays your GUI as a webpage running on localhost. However, it does work pretty well with Electron, which gives you a desktop application.

Best UI Toolkit for generating UI elements at runtime
For this purpose, I normally use threepenny-gui, which can be used with Electron. (As it happens, that combination is what I’m using for my current Haskell program.)
