Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • SonarQube - Static code analysis for 29 languages.
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • slint

    Slint is a toolkit to efficiently develop fluid graphical user interfaces for any display: embedded devices and desktop applications. We support multiple programming languages, such as Rust, C++, or JavaScript.

    To do that we want the developer to use the programming language of its choice by having idiomatic binding to many programming languages, and we want to build a design tool that a designer can use to produce the final artifact.

    We've not reached all our goals yet, but we're progressing.
