are we regressing back to appreciating simplicity in the era of A(G)I?
Visual Studio 6, home.
that's not Delphi
>>109912120Ywah... be nice to have something like this now that we dont have to write code... so make it easy to build for cross platform desktop with something like the ui library from zed ... so you just create pages and drop components and then wire code in the back... Can any ody build this plZ
>keyboard shortcuts shown in menus (discoverability)>tooltips on hover>right-click menus>movable toolbars>scroll-wheel scrolling>automatic window resize handling (or was that delphi?)Keyboard and mouse-based user interface at its best.How does the touch-based user interface compare ?

>>109912544Commentary by AI ?
>>109912630yes. more fun to read than any of you guys
The UI design in the old days had UX down to a science. How did we regress to creating user-unfriendly, non-intuitive UIs where you need to click through a thousand screens to perform simple actions?
>>109912662okrs
>>109912662go download random average shareware 2003 program from softpedia or oldversionsdotcom and try to use that garbage instead of larping bout them good old days and basedence
>>109912676>go download random average shareware 2003 program from softpedia or oldversionsdotcomIf you have actual points to make then make them.
>>109912120WinForms is buggy garbage and you would know it if you actually used it and weren't a typical /g/ nocoder.
>>109912335Fucking love Delphi
>>109912761Because you're a teenager who never shipped software. incapable (yet - hopefully) of comprehending tools that are actually used in the industry.
>>109912722>literally never had an issue in 30 yearsoklol
>>109912778I've actually been gainfully employed as a Delphi dev for almost a decade
>>109912786What did you guys use Delphi for?
>>109912780Because you're nocoder who doesn't ship software.
>>109912583I understand this reference.
>>109912676I do that and it just proves his point.
>>109912798Application software for scientific measuring devices. I won't go into much detail because we're one of only a handful of companies in the field
>>109912847And all of you are beyond terrible pajeet-tier shitters and the entire field hates you with a passion.
>>109912945What do you get paid to program, anon
>>109912120Why isn't there a Linux counterpart? (QtCreator is shite) I loved making small programs in windows. Once I migrate to Linux this was one of the few things I missed.
>>109913072$170k euros. My net take home is ~65% of this.
>>109913098I meant what projects you work on
>>109913094lazarus ofc, it is still actively maintained tooid definetly use today if i were making desktop apps but it seems web is too ubiquitous
>>109913107Computational software for in-silico assay screening. In other words, wrangling low quality jeet slop so it doesn't break terribly when you look at it from the wrong angle.
>>109913110Can you compile to wasm and deliver desktop apps on web as an alternative? Then you have both the true native and the webslop version so you have the best of both worlds.
>>109913094>Why isn't there a Linux counterpart?There is a Linux counter part it's called vibe coding.
>>109913132i never looked much into wasm, could be interesting thoughnormally for web i do ssr + htmx
>>109913094There used to be several that I don't even remember the names of, but they all fell off, just like the entire paradigm of visual UI editors. Which makes 0 sense because people now just rebuild them poorly and sell them (see framer, canva, figma, and some very expensive wordpress builder addons).
>>109912120If only it was free software and not 10k corporate license per user
>>109913163pretty much this, my next startup idea was finding one of those thats mit licensed and slapping an ai into it and call it "next generation agentic development workspace" and get 6 trillion dollar package from vendure capital person
