@glipari ah yes I had come across this post too. Quite indicative indeed.

Codeberg has over 200k accounts and only 1.2k members, which, if we assume that the recommended membership fee is the average, works out to ~50k€ per year in membership dues.

They’re begging for old hardware to run CI jobs, because they can’t just go out and buy a Mac Mini.

Please, folks, if you think a non-USA alternative to GitHub is important, and you have the disposable income: put your money forward.

Let's introduce the term Firefork to indicate forks of the Firefox browsers.

I stumbled on Webview (https://github.com/webview/webview) as an option, which uses web technology for the UI in a way I hadn't even considered, and results in a tiny package and tiny executable with few extra dependencies. Web tech is very accessible. Plenty fast, runs everywhere (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, mobile, BSDs, all seemingly have Webview support out of the box or via a single package install) with minor tweaks. And, web browsers don't break backward compatibility.

Still considering my options.

So, I was planning to focus on packaging, documentation, and getting this thing published this weekend, but, I think I'm actually going to use the time to rebuild the UI in something else. Slint has a kinda cranky license, but seems to have a tiny runtime and looks great. Dear Imgui is not really accessible (not super relevant for a drawing program maybe, but if I'm learning a new thing, I want to be able to make accessible software with it, it's the minimal bar for a GUI toolkit, IMHO).
