  • zotero

    Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share your research sources.

  • Yes [0], and they are going to continue to support it for plugins [1].

  • sciter

    Sciter: the Embeddable HTML/CSS/JS engine for modern UI development

  • Check my Sciter ( https://sciter.com )

    It is embeddable HTML/CSS/JS/ UI layer by design.

    If you want to check how it feels in real life application then check https://notes.sciter.com/ . That's monolithic, portable executable (~7mb) that includes Sciter itself and HTML/CSS/JS/ resources of the application ( https://gitlab.com/c-smile/sciter.notes/-/tree/main/src/res )

  • Azul

    Desktop GUI Framework

  • Azul[1] was my solution for that, it was based on WebRender. I didn't get around to finish it in 2019, but I will work on it this year, maybe I'll get it to be mature enough to post it here.

    > wide portability (at least Windoze, Linux, MacOS, iOS, Android, embedded: Azul is Windows-Linux-Mac only, don't underestimate the effort to properly port something to a new platform

    > "though a Vulkan-based renderer can be made to run pretty much anywhere": WebRender is OpenGL + using software rendering as a fallback

    > a permissive open source license: MPL-2.0

    > a C interface/wrap to allow a wide programming language binding support: yes

    > and an easily extensible and themable set of basic widgets: also yes

    [1] https://azul.rs/

  • > we have a number of other libs to integrate, some of which add their own rendering (which requires access to e.g. a Vulkan context, not merely HTML/CSS or other high-level UI elements)…

    I have a customer that is doing something close: it is a 3D CAD alike app where they have Vulkan rendering 3D scene with Sciter UI on top of that - rendering chrome UI around that 3D and on the same Vulkan surface.

    Sciter API supports rendering in windowless mode (https://gitlab.com/sciter-engine/sciter-js-sdk/-/tree/main/d...) where app supplies OpenGL, Vulkan or DirectX context to render on.

    > Sorry, but I'll have to pass.

    Understood. Sometimes people need not just to get job done but also "OS" label on it.

  • iced

    A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm

  • There are a number of up-and-coming Rust-based frameworks in this niche:

    - https://github.com/iced-rs/iced (probably the most usable today)

    - https://github.com/vizia/vizia

    - https://github.com/marc2332/freya

    - https://github.com/linebender/xilem (currently very incomplete but exciting because it's from a team with a strong track record)

    What is also exciting to me is that the Rust GUI ecosystem is in many cases building itself up with modular libraries. So while we have umpteen competing frameworks they are to a large degree all building and collaborating on the same foundations. For example, we have:

    - https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit (cross-platform window creation)

    - https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu (abstraction on top of vulkan/metal/dx12)

    - https://github.com/linebender/vello (a canvas like imperative drawing API on top of wgpu)

    - https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy (UI layout algorithms)

    - https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text (text rendering and editing)

    - https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit (cross-platform accessibility APIs)
