Got a video recommended about a vibecoded "Modern UI library for C".
I think it's a good opportunity to remind people that Clay exists, and as far as I'm aware, it's not slop: https://github.com/nicbarker/clay
I haven't tried Clay myself in a while, but I'll take it over whatever that Claude mess is supposed to be.
@NullTheFool it works well but it's a bit barebones. The input system needs a bit more fleshing out or an alternative system but for the rest it's fun to use.
@NullTheFool read the start of the post and saw the link to Clay and was worried it was slopped for a second.. phew.
@lilyyllyyllyly Yeah I probably have to phrase it a bit better to avoid confusion
I love how the definition of "modern GUI" is "liquid glass and blurs".
Bro that shit has been around since 2005 and it's called Frutiger Aero.
AND IT WAS BETTER BACK THEN, FIGHT ME I DARE YOU
@NullTheFool Win 7 was magnitudes more readable than Liquid ~~Snake~~ Ass
@agatha Surprisingly I don't dislike Metro as much as some of my friends, but still, it's below my top 5 UI aesthetics
@NullTheFool Oh, we're circling back around to it already?
Are we doing it with or without the vaseline this time?
@elfi I am not sure, but this time I'll make the anime girl wallpapers
@NullTheFool it's probably my personal nostalgia talking, but I feel like we could learn something from the pre-XP windows look.
I don't mean replicate it exactly--gosh that was a lot of gray. But I feel like it communicated exactly what the UI was and how you were supposed to use it pretty well.
@astraluma Responded to another person about it, it's actually my top 4 in favorite UI aesthetics, I'm a pixel artist after all lol
