can any #gnome #gtk people out there tell me what the current state of https://gitlab.gnome.org/jpu/cambalache is?

more specifically, is this the main GUI designer tool that people are using atm? i understood it was the new generation of #glade since a while now

im happy to take another run at gnome desktop apps but i ideally like to keep the design separate from the code (also for collaborating with designers)

@d1 what even.. is it? "RAD" tool?

[d1@autonomous.zone]

@dantescanline yeh, you can design gtk desktop apps in a GUI environment itself instead of painstakingly writing out the entire design in code

you can shoot the shit with other people and without having to recompile a bunch of noise

it spits out a text file andd the code loads it and then just references some conventions / names / etc. to pull it all together

@d1 i see, ive only touched this stuff a little but blueprints seemed pretty nice? though if your code references widgets that are no longer in the blueprint you get errors obviously. i know theres supposed to be a fairly modern GUI builder for blueprints too though i can't find the damn link right now
