Hi Eric,
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing with US. Also thanks for putting so
much work on this.
I have a few questionings.
IUP for Cocoa is a safe ground. It can be used for Desktop applications
although we can extend to iOS.
Desktop applications are our priority and I really would like to see this
fully working. Existing applications can really benefit from a MacOS driver
for IUP. I would suggest you to focus on this one, because the contribution
will be huge!!! We can even attract more users to IUP.
On the other hand... do you think that mobile developers can take a
benefit from an IUP port? I see that you had to make lots for workarounds
to make it work. I don't think existing application would benefit, so maybe
we are talking just about new applications when comes to mobile. Then why
to use IUP and not another API that was originally developed for mobile?
Also, I see a lot of work ahead maintaining the Android code. I didn't
know that was all Java based. What a mess... "Why do do something new
simpler if we can get it even more complicated..."
Anyway just a few thoughts to get started.
Best,
Scuri
