After some spontaneous hacking on BitRitters edit mode, i made some good progress: First time i could change values and save them to the database/server.
It really means alot to le because after 2 failed applications for funding i ditched the topic for too long.
It might need a major rework of the UI internals though, but now i am motivated again.

I'm discovering #Relm4, a GUI libray for #GTK4 in #Rust which uses the MVU/TEA/Realm architecture. If I need/ever get the urge to create a GTK application, this would be perfect for me.

Since adw::EntryRow does not implement String bindings or similar and i can not (or don't want to, for Relm4 reasons) use get/set methods, is there another approach?

#LibAdwaita #GTK #Relm4 #Rust

It's interesting to compare #relm4 vs #swiftui, as I've spent more time building the same app with both.

I like how relm4 constraints state management, it makes it easier for apps to stay well structured as they grow.

Gtk4 is frustrating to work with though. I miss the flexibility that SwiftUI and AppKit give you in how to build UI. You think apple is UI-prescriptive? wait until you meet #adwaita

I really need to learn #GTK app development. GUI dev stuff outside the browser always ends up frustrating me.

#Rust people, what are your thoughts on using #Relm4 vs. the regular gtk & libadwaita crates? How is support for #Blueprint? Last I used it, I dont think the blueprint LSP was built yet, so it was pretty tedious because I use #Helix and not #GNOME #Builder.

i've been using relm4 for a while and i'm really happy with it. i love the #elm architecture - your app's state is a struct (or object), your user interface is rendered by a function that takes your state and returns a tree of widgets (or similar), widgets emit messages, messages modify state. i find it so much cleaner and easier to wrap my head around than traditional imperative methods or MVVM.

what are some other nice cross-platform #desktop app frameworks that use this architecture? i'm mainly familiar with #relm4 and #iced in #rust.
