Made a videoplayer app for the #RaspberryPi 5 using #haxe #openfl #feathersUI and #hxvlc

It's quite a smooth experience.
And of course it runs on windows mac and other linux to :)

In collaboration with the Moonshine.dev team, a new visual form designer is now available for Feathers UI. Drag-and-drop GUI controls into containers (including nesting), edit common properties in the GUI, apply layouts (with percent sizing), and adjust font and background styles.

It generates MXHX markup, a new XML dialect for GUIs in Haxe, inspired by Adobe Flex's MXML, but targeted at Haxe instead of AS3.

Just for fun: I prototyped a small reactive programming library for #FeathersUI, #OpenFL, and #Haxe. Not sure I'll do anything with it, but it was a fun exercise.

I wish the props didn't use reflection and were strictly checked at compile-time. However, I really like the state system — especially the transform() method that can convert a state value into a different type with a callback. Perfect for converting values into strings.

Another preview at the XML component format that I'm developing for #FeathersUI and #OpenFL. This screenshot shows a snippet that customizes the appearance of a RectangleSkin with a fill and border.

Yes, it's very verbose, and no, this absolutely won't be the recommended way to skin a component.

I'm just proud of how the XML format can even represent #Haxe enums with arguments. In this case, that includes FillStyle.Gradient, LineStyle.SolidColor, and GradientBoxTransform.RotateDegrees.

I've been working on a way to build custom components for #FeathersUI and #OpenFL using XML. I'm aiming for something very similar to #MXML in #ApacheFlex.

Last week, I finally compiled my first real sample component (after spending tons of time writing necessary low-level tests).

The XML code in the screenshot recreates one of the #FeathersUI samples that was originally written in #Haxe. The XML is parsed at compile-time with a Haxe build macro, which generates a class.
