webui VS flexbugs

It's not confidence-inspiring that https://webui.me throws security warnings. I'd want folks to make applications "that make applications" to take security a little more seriously.

Would creating a Fortran module to use WebUI as GUI be worth it? Is there a need for GUI libraries in Fortran, or not many?

The result is pretty good! Take a look at the implementation in the WebUI open-source project.

If you find a solution, please share it with us in Github. We are struggling with this issue :)

I created this issue: https://github.com/alifcommunity/webui/issues/87

I am sharing with you guys an excellent GUI library, V-WebUI (Based on WebUI written in C), a lightweight library that uses any web browser as GUI. It's totally portable and has no dependencies. I test it, and I like it.

Adding a little context: I believe that projects like webui will be the future electron/webview killers. Unfortunately this code is very poorly done. I want to make my own, but I wouldn't want to have to do any gross cheating to make it compatible with Firefox.

For old features yes, for new ones it depends.

First, we read all the articles that showed us how to use it. Then we need to understand the axes. After that, we needed to wait for browser support. In the meantime, some of us brave enough used float fallbacks. On top of all that, we needed to deal with bugs. Those were the happy times, but they got us to this point in the frontend development phase.

To actually contribute, there's some flexbox bugs here which are still valid. https://github.com/philipwalton/flexbugs

If you find yourself in a situation when you have to solve a flexbox related layout bug for IE11, you might want to have a look at this collection of known issues and workarounds which helped me a great deal in the past.

For functional stuff, sure, but I don't think this is achievable within the UI domain. CSS rules have implementation details that change how you write it, for example there's a documented set of issues in flex implementations maintained here: https://github.com/philipwalton/flexbugs

It might be practical and possible to become mainstream for some domains, but it's doubtful for others.

For example, I've regularly ran into flexbox issues that are Safari-specific. I've discovered these by testing in other browsers and confirming that the issue only shows up in Safari. A good reference of Flexbox browser-specific bugs is Philip Walton's flexbugs repo.
