Once in a while I want to get back to doing GUI applications and take a look around on available toolkits. I have two tiers in mind for this: one is cross-platform and the other is Linux focused (as in works for me and I don't care about anything else).

Nothing really ticks all my points and I am not in a mood to elaborate on my wants/needs other than I would like for it to be as small as possible. Slint is not exactly this, but all the other things around it make me consider it for a bigger cross-platform case.

Slint is interesting because of declarative UI and how they really add a lot of good features in every release. It already supports a11y thanks to accesskit which is important for me. This release adds remote viewer: you edit declarative portion on your computer and see it update on another machine (including phones).

Nice to see LibrePCB having seemingly symbiotic relationship with it.
