What problem it solves

Building user interfaces for desktop, mobile, web, and embedded applications requires coordinating interface design with application logic across programming languages and platforms. Slint separates declarative `.slint` interface definitions from business logic and compiles the interface to native code.

Key features

• Declarative interface markup — Define interface elements, placement, hierarchy, property bindings, and state-driven data flow in the `.slint` markup language.

  Source: README

• Multiple application languages — Connect interface definitions to business logic written in Rust, C++, JavaScript, or Python.

  Source: README, api

• Native compilation and configurable rendering — Compile `.slint` files ahead of time to native code and select from OpenGL ES, Skia, or software rendering backends.

  Source: README

• Editor and design integration — Work with live previews, editor integrations, a dedicated viewer, an online editor, and a Figma-to-Slint plugin.

  Source: README, editors, tools

• Cross-platform application scope — Use the toolkit for desktop, mobile, web, embedded Linux, and microcontroller applications.

Quick start

Copied verbatim from the project's README.

export component HelloWorld inherits Window {
    width: 400px;
    height: 400px;

    Text {
       y: parent.width / 2;
       x: parent.x + 200px;
       text: "Hello, world";
       color: blue;
    }
}

Who it may suit

This may suit developers working in Rust, C++, JavaScript, or Python who need interfaces across desktop, mobile, web, or embedded targets. It may also suit UI designers working alongside application developers.

Topics to discuss

• Which language bindings or target platforms should receive more community examples and documentation?

• How can the `.slint` design workflow better support collaboration between designers and developers?

• Which editor, live-preview, or design-tool integration would most improve day-to-day development?
