Maybe Slint could be an option? From former Qt developers.

There's no pricing indication other than "contact our sales", which is a common wording for "just as expensive (or even more) as the competition". Also their licence and subscription (yuck) model seems awful. Pay a monthly fee per device as long as I sell my product? No thanks. I got laughed at for presenting QT as a possible solution. This will just make me look like a tryhard clown.

Or the one-two punch of "Contact our sales", followed immedietely by "What is your budget?" ... which is a common wording for "How much money do you have? That is what this will cost!"


They are almost certainly not as rigid about pricing and conditions as the Qt Company. Source: I know these guys.


Perhaps they could provide some reasonable (production!) public pricing plans and allow custom quotes for folks who want to negotiate the price further then.


Doesn't yet have a table or tree control - would only work for very basic UIs in this limited state. Also, GPL and all that entails (with rare exception that you can petition for a free license if a very small entity or open source).


Has anyone tried slint? How does it compare to Qt v5 or v6?
