Poll: GUI framework for widgets/apps in Wayland

Hello everyone! I’ve been playing around with Wayland for a bit and was hoping to start learning some more about it. For example, I would be interested in making a lock screen, similar to Swaylock, as a toy project.

What GUI toolkit would you use to develop apps on Wayland? I’ve added a little poll below with some of the popular choices I’ve seen thrown around. Feel free to add your own suggestions and maybe leave a comment as to why you’d use that!

Flutter gang rise up (though technically it’s just hijacking a GTK window)

There used to be a Mozilla alternative, and then it got discontinued. :(

Settle down, Satan.

theshatterstone54,

I’ve played around with (only played around with, I haven’t done any actual development with either but I’ve heard they’re similar) GTK, QT and Tk (actually tkinter from Python), and QT seems the most intuitive. It just feels right to me, compared to the others.

I found the easiest to work with to be QT.
