Does anyone know how many weeks before a ROC interface built Doc becomes available ?
:tada: :octopus:

Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 04 2023 at 04:35):What specifically do you mean by "ROC interface built Doc"?
rocerik (Jan 04 2023 at 04:57):documentations in order to build a ui with Roc...
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 04 2023 at 05:19):Ah. I think that may be a fair bit away. Though some minor games and other graphical roc programs have been made, there isn't really a functional graphics platform yet that would be used to make a desktop application with UI.
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 04 2023 at 05:20):So a lot of leg work and API design is needed first.
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 04 2023 at 05:21):I think some theoretical and prototype design has been done, but i don't think anyone is currently working on a full fledged platform for UI desktop apps.
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 04 2023 at 05:21):Though i think some base work is being done for web development.
rocerik (Jan 04 2023 at 06:13):Ohh, okay, I saw bits of a UI sample in some YT video so I thought some doc would already be available,
thanks for the updating info again. well well...
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 04 2023 at 07:08):Yeah, UI is possible currently, but it is currently essentially always tied to custom platforms that are made special for specific apps. So totally possible to work on and do, but a lot more work and nothing flexible/generic.
Pearce Keesling (Jan 04 2023 at 12:23):I'm personally really interested to see what a roc interface on top of xilem looks like, but that still needs time to bake. Maybe sometime towards the end of the year we'll start seeing stuff
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 04 2023 at 16:02):That would be cool. I haven't messed with xilem at all. I would bet as the year progresses, a few people will try to make a better wrapper around a few ui libraries in roc.
