Haxe

i played with flutter (very briefly) felt really ugly

what do you find ugly? The programming or the generated ui?

they are optimized for mobile devices. Stop material design. But flutter is very strong in building own widgets.
Currently I use many widgets that I myself or others have developed. Hardly any that come directly with Flutter.

https://flutter.dev/multi-platform/desktop

maybe it wasnt flutter... not sure now... but defo one of the "big ones"

With flutter I find a pity that the widgets have split very strongly with.
Currently there is just the material area and the caputino area.
It would have been better if you had designed it so that you could have customized it with a stylesheet or so.

Currently, somehow no surface programming can really satisfy me xD.

UI frameworks are tough... you'll never please everyone 🙂

i liked the coding design from haxeui, i like the backend of flutter, i like the variety of functions of html

as i said, you'll never please everyone 😄

there is always a UI framework that does something in a way you like and other things in a way you hate (or dislike)... at least, thats been my experience in general

so there really aren't that many now and none are anywhere near the direction that I wouldn't need months to use them for my purposes.
Or the licenses are so restrictive that you have to make a pack with the devil.
I think even on Wikipedia there are only 20 listed. I find that quite little.

but i think i will switch to haxeui now with the kha backend. Is then no software rendering more but hey. That is what I can achieve the closest.

```haxe
        box2.dragOptions.dragBounds = new Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 200);
        
        box3.onDrag = function(e:DragEvent) {
            if (e.newX > 200 || e.newY > 200) {
                e.cancel();
            } else {
                e.newX -= Std.int(e.newX % 20);
                e.newY -= Std.int(e.newY % 20);
            }
        }
```

i think ill rename newX / newY to left / top

but looks very good. Exactly the function I was missing. With this you can basically map all drag and drop functionalities that you need.

yeah, the callback idea was a good... ... ... call 🙂

I'll give it a try! But only after eating. Have not yet lunch.

```haxe
    @:bind(box1, DragEvent.DRAG_START)
    @:bind(box2, DragEvent.DRAG_START)
    @:bind(box3, DragEvent.DRAG_START)
    private function onBoxDragged(e:DragEvent) {
        e.target.moveComponentToFront();
    }
```

... i might add it as an dragOption though "reorderParentChildren" or something
