Is Godot (or something else,say, Bevy) the right tool for building a complex, data intensive GUI app (like a DAW)?

I tried dear imgui for this before but I felt it was very low level and had to build a lot of systems (not it's intended use as a GUI app framework, tbf)

I want to see more models that can be streamed to a browser and run locally via wasm. That would be my hope for small models. In the <100mb range.

Interesting. I had only heard this in the context of Apple before and not Amazon. There is a clip from a Steve Jobs video describing how you need to work backwards from the end user experience and then figure out the technology

But Arc is native. They are building it in Swift. They have even taken on a mammoth task of building their windows version in Swift!

I was already fascinated by Elixir, but this video drove the nail home. It's a great presentation and I don't think I have watched any conference talks (on YouTube) without taking a break except this one.

It's there in the text but it is not formatted as a link. It would have been nicer if we could click on the footnote to go back to the text.

1. You can search for Space Quest 2. Search for Unique writing stye. It's at the end of that paragraph 3. Appendix B

Dear ImGui is excellent and is very handy to make GUI version of a CLI app especially if we want to interactively set values and see results.

It is fairly low level (deliberately) and that’s great to keep it simple. I wish there is a standalone GUI ‘framework’ which builds on these primitives and leans on standard library to make the experience a bit more nicer when building standalone applications.

I understand this is not the goal of Dear ImGui. I may give it a shot in a few months time if I don’t come across any such project.

Congrats! This looks great. The website and the info presented looks very well thought out!

In the features section would really like to see about how Text rendering is handled by Bevy. It is a big feature.

Edit: To clarify, I wanted to know if it uses any known lib (Skia) or technique (signed distance fields) for some fancy text rendering.

Relm looks promising. Actually there are a couple of promising GUI libraries coming up in Rust.

Congrats on the launch. Are there plans for SDKs in various languages or is this going to be JS only for now?

Why I ask is that I like the simplicity of Firebase as a back-end and attempted to use Google Auth for a desktop app (in C++). It was a pain to setup and still doesn’t work well.

It would save us a great deal of dev effort if there was a layer which could talk to Google and handle this for me.

P.S. The part about trusting a ‘startup’ with auth tokens may be worth addressing in some way on your website.
