Cross-platform GUI frameworks were hot in the 1990s. This review paper of platform-independent GUIs is interesting as it was published in January of 1995, just a few months before the original release of Java. The paper is a snapshot of the pre-Java market and covers mostly C/C++ products, plus one in Lisp (CLIM) and a couple based on Smalltalk.

@mikro2nd No, sorry.

I've been looking for a cross-platform toolkit for (desktop!) UI lately, and it's thin pickings as far as I can see. Qt. Compose Multiplatform. Flutter. (But those latter 2 far prefer mobile platforms, and it shows!) It's a pretty sad scene. Everybody wants to do either web or mobile and to hell with desktop.Me, I'm predicting a swing back to desktop over the next decade or so...

@mikro2nd I'm lucky as I don't do anything cross-platform, and would use CLIM if I did.

@amoroso is there a version without Cloudflare in front of it? My mobile can“t pass their “test”.

@3rz That's weird as the page worked for me in Firefox up to a few tens of minutes ago, but now I get the warning too. I tried disabling uBO and Privacy Badger but I still get the warning, even in Chrome. Maybe a breaking update to Safe Browsing?

And yeah, I happen to be quite enough past 25, hence why I agree with the doctor that it's time to see what's going on 8-D

@mxjaygrant Can you share a bit more about what is making you say that? This post wasn't directed at Mastodon users, and I don't feel that way about our users at all. But if there's something I've done to make you feel that way, I'd like to work to improve.

@emaytch @mcc Pale Moon has forked a long time ago and had been maintained independently from Firefox, so for all intents and purposes it can be considered truly an independent browser now with its own engine and it will survive even without FF. For LibreWolf and WaterFox, though, their survival without Firefox behind them is a huge question mark indeed.
