Great to see efforts like this trying to move the needle on the designer usability of “native” UI toolkits for Python/Go/Ruby/etc.
Any ideas for other ways designers can help improve/influence the UX of “native” toolkits?
It seems like native UI development (especially for PC or Linux embedded device displays) is stuck years behind the simplicity of layout for the web. And I’m not aware of anyone but Apple doing constraint-based layout (as with Interface Builder). With platforms like Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone increasing the accessibility of embedded Linux design it seems like there’s a need for designer-friendly UI toolkits that don’t require tons of dependencies or the complexity of running a web stack to render a UI, but do require responsiveness across devices and operating systems.
