Re: Dynamic Bindings to libui (x-platform GUI)

What they say about libui on their site: "Simple and portable (but not inflexible) GUI library in C that uses the native GUI technologies of each platform it supports." find libui on github: https://github.com/andlabs/libui So here are the inofficial Derelict Bindings to it: https://github.com/Extrawurst/DerelictLibui I tested them on both windows and mac osx so far.

Its at the bottom of my list of things I love to do. its not difficult though. It's quite close to the C# and Vala bindings If you are doing so, may I suggest you like to publish it in ways that others can help you by contributing to the tutorial? Something like gitbook. It would be great for the community.

Apart form the biannual update to the latest glib/gtk version, this release adds bindings for Gstreamer Mpegts and Gstreamer AppSink. Full changelog: http://gtkd.org/changelog.html Download: http://gtkd.org/Downloads/sources/GtkD-3.7.0.zip I highly appreciate that the project is being actively maintained but I want to express my concern. It would be really nice if there was an easy tutorial for the library. At this moment, all we got is a documentation page that drops you in gtkdialog page. It's almost like a solid blackbox, especially for people that are not familiar with developing GUI. There is a tutorial out there but it looks unfinished, slightly outdated and most importantly the installation instruction of gtkd is for only windows and doesn't make use of dub. I wish there was a nice and up to date tutorial like https://mmstick.github.io/gtkrs-tutorials/
