InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
I'm curious about this as well, but wouldn't be pointing fingers at the Wayland developers. See, for example, one of the most recent comments in the discussion linked to in the parent post, by Nilvus, one of the (wise and knowledgeable) darktable developers:
> The only thing is that color management for Wayland is progressing and far from being completely done. Even if work is quite slow, things seems to go in good direction. For correct and complete Wayland color management, we just have to wait again.
Blender itself seems to be color-profile aware: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/color_manag....
Here is an issue tracking work on Wayland: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/m....
There's a nice site which is parallel to this work which summarizes issues/goals: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pq/color-and-hdr
Here is parallel work on this in Sway: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1486
On MacOS "pulling in complex UI framework" amounts to "#[link(name = "AppKit", kind = "framework")]" somewhere in my Rust codebase. On Windows it's similar.
With Gnome it seems unclear how to do something equally simple to get decorations that match the OS look and feel. The most popular Rust windowing library ended up implementing their own client-side decorations rendering that imitates GTK: https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/pull/2263.
And if every framework / app is doing this in their own subtly different way then the result is an OS where many apps have slightly different UX, buttons, text rendering, shadows, etc. A horribly unpolished experience.
