Hi Tuvia,

Thanks for dropping in. But I understand that you may not have read the post in full. But that can be accepted on a forum!

There a still a few cases where a local GUI is useful. An anti-virus, for example, requires a decent (very) local interface.

SCITER is a solution used by AVAST, Norton, Bitdefender and a few other small shops to develop tight and compact local applications when you need them. This is not the only kind of app that has to run locally. We have one. I understand we're not that many.

I get it as well that you may not need to build or run local apps and that's perfectly acceptable! Some even try to challenge the fact that there may be applications that need to run locally.

The intent of the post was just to discuss the opportunity to fund a compact and modern alternative GUI library to the current legacy generation of VFP-based local applications on win32 using this brilliant stuff instead of, say, Electron and its massive and unwieldy library.

In view of the absence of interest for this brilliant stuff - I can accept that as well, the market is more than narrow to-day for such stuff - the thread is of course closed! We'll need to move all our full code base - both UI and data engineering - to python at some stage.

Daniel
