What is your take on the current state of JavaFX as a GUI library?

• MediaSystem-v2

  8 17 0.0 Java

  Entertainment center for searching and viewing your video collection. It will fetch metadata from external sources and can be controlled by remote. The GUI is written using JavaFX and video playback uses MPV or VLC through vlcj.

It's here: https://github.com/hjohn/MediaSystem-v2 .

• cljfx

  17 912 5.3 Clojure

  Declarative, functional and extensible wrapper of JavaFX inspired by better parts of react and re-frame

  

There's https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx which turns it into something like React. And you can use the opportunity to learn Clojure ;)

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

Undecorated interactive stage style

• compose-multiplatform

  96 14,664 9.6 Kotlin

  Compose Multiplatform, a modern UI framework for Kotlin that makes building performant and beautiful user interfaces easy and enjoyable.

  

There is a lot of potential in javafx, especially the prism rendering engine seems salvageable but it doesn't seem like it's happening any time soon and that is a shame. These days I'm looking out at https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb for a jvm-ish desktop experience.

• javafx-gradle-plugin

  76 341 5.0 Java

  Gradle plugin that makes it easy to work with JavaFX 11+ (by openjfx)

  

In addition, it's pretty performant, allows you to use css for styling (which makes it easier for those who come from webdev), and has quite a few libraries for testing, controls, graphs, styling etc. See https://openjfx.io for more info on it.

• FxThemes

  1 32 1.8 CSS

  A collection of general JavaFX themes

It only took a few hours: https://github.com/Col-E/FxThemes
