I feel like the guis in linux are lacking, in that they are lacking that certain simplicity of creating windows applications. I wish to correct this with this project. Which probably will stagnate in development. But hopes are high and the seas of possibilities seem endless. I wish to create a library which is both easy to use and more readable than the existing libraries. I know it's a tough ask but this is how innovation is made sheer will power and determination, of which the later I lack.

build instructions

Requirements

  • x11
  • cmake >= 3.28

building

run build.sh

or do it manually via

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . -j # builds it in parallel

Goals

  • learn about XLib and how the X11 ecosystem is formed and adapted
  • try to make a functioning library
  • learn how libraries work
  • in the far future create some sort of programming language adapting milch (think flutter)
  • actually complete a project for once
