Framer-style UI editor
-
@Webmaster4o , it's looks cool. But I would say look before you leap. Look what it can really do, and ask yourself if can ui do the same with a gui or in code. Really, ui is so flexible, just takes some time to see all it can do.
But I am ok to stand corrected if it's better. But my opinion is prove its better to yourself first with real examples and see how it stacks up.
My 2 cents worth before I go to eat and sleep 🤗 -
I'm going to have to try out Framer now... It's nice that there is a 8 hour free trial, as it's quite expensive. Also, it would be nice if you could actually test it on an actual iphone or ipad rather than a simulator. Finally, as you said, it is awesome :)

@TheJJ100100 There's a $10 iOS preview app. I've applied for the educational discount on Framer, and will be purchasing for $64

Oh, I didn't realise. I thought that present would be to do with running it on an actual device, instead, it just runs it in fullscreen. ¯\ (ツ)/¯. Also, if you've paid for the desktop app, it's a bit annoying to have to pay for an iOS app. Just have a free app that you need to log in to to use...

@Webmaster4o , sorry after I looked at this more closely I realized how stupid my comments were. Thank you for your restraint 😁

Just today I started to do something like this. However, I think I will change up the direction I have been going. Perhaps some use of the scene module (for the live updating) is needed.
We could collaborate? I could design the UI?

@TutorialDoctor Thanks for the offer. I'm not ready to work on this right now, I've got a lot on my plate. For now, I'm shelving this as a future project. But if you'd like to see what you can come up with you're welcome to :D

I am going to work on something. Lol, it's the whacky races 😁
But I will be doing something very basic. I just want to build views. Well let's say wire frame views. Possibly subviews. I want to keep it quite basic. It would be a nice touch to be able to write the result out as a pyui file, then can do the nitty gritty stuff in the ui Designer.I made a small start yesterday. I am thinking @JonB 's overlay class/project maybe very useful so can have a floating palette for cmds. And possibly a attributes/property page.
I am just going to make views like pictured below
-
@Phuket2 What did you use to make those diagrams? Is this just Subviews in the UI designer?
-
@JosephBywater , yeah, was using the designer as a drawing tool.
