|---|---|---|
| ssj71 | I know thats not the most important thing, but it was a funny first impression | 16:47 |
| ssj71 | I like the idea though | 16:47 |
| drobilla | Heh. I haven't actually tried it yet | 16:59 |
| drobilla | Just did a first glance and went "huh... this API is actually not bad, and isolating this layout stuff entirely from other widget toolkit concerns is quite a nice idea" | 16:59 |
| ssj71 | agreed | 17:00 |
| ssj71 | I'm fairly biased against it that it was written by FB and the API comes from the web development world. Neither are good reasons to make a decision :) | 17:04 |
| drobilla | Yeah, I know | 17:04 |
| ssj71 | better reason is just that its a notable change in directon that I've been using for layout | 17:05 |
| ssj71 | but likely to be better | 17:05 |
| drobilla | (Though I do consider meshing with CSS a pro) | 17:06 |
| drobilla | I haven't actually done layout anything, so naturally a thing that does that for me is appealing :) | 17:06 |
| ssj71 | I'll have to look at this better now than later | 17:07 |
| ssj71 | so digging into it I'm feeling more and more, that there are only 2 reasons for an LV2 gui: 1. to provide some way of interaction that increases useability of the plugin, and/or 2. eye candy that inspires the user to be creative with it and I think a layout engine doesn't really facilitate either | 18:04 |
| drobilla | It depends on the UI. For a bunch of knobs on a shiny pixmap, whatever | 18:05 |
| ssj71 | so I think yoga would be great for hosts generating uis to layout ports and groups of ports, but I'm going to just go ahead with my simpleton scaling scheme | 18:05 |
| drobilla | But you start having widgets like drop boxes, and text entry, and so on, and groups of them around, you start needing such things | 18:06 |
| drobilla | and yeah, generated stuff for a bunch of controls | 18:06 |
| ssj71 | for my UI's I think I'm in the whatever category :) | 18:06 |
| drobilla | If it can do flexible flowing layout of groups of things, that'd be great for hosts | 18:07 |
| drobilla | (and someday I'd like to make a portable Jalv) | 18:07 |
| ssj71 | agreed 100% | 18:07 |
| ssj71 | it seems like its a great candidate for that | 18:07 |
| ssj71 | I just am looking through my UIs and trying to imagine how they could be reflowed and not really seeing it | 18:08 |
| drobilla | Fair enough | 18:13 |
| drobilla | I imagine boxes of things that contain text is a more common case for plugin UIs than full on reflow | 18:13 |
| ssj71 | that is an idea though, once I start making my textbox widget | 18:14 |
