Why should I use this library over the more well-known free and open-source cross-platform GUI toolkits? With wx I can get fully native widgets on Win/Mac/GTK/Qt/even embedded systems. With Qt and Qt-quick I can have rapid development (and native enough widgets). Even GTK is at least well-documented. What's your edge supposed to be?

If you want people to check your project out, I’d advise you to put the documentation, license, and installation instructions prominently on the website and link to the source code.<p>I immediately passed on looking at your project because the website just wants me to download things.<p>Also, for the love of god, don’t document source code with PDFs.

While it looks somewhat interesting, I&#x27;m afraid that there are some aspects that don&#x27;t sit well with me.<p>The license is unclear. And I can&#x27;t find the referenced EULA_Lib.pdf. <i>&quot;The use of the Geeonx library and the programs geeonx_demo andgeeonx_creator is subject to the corresponding license agreements:EULA_Lib.pdf, EULA_Geeonx_Demo.pdf, EULA_Geeonx_Creator.pdf.&quot;</i><p>The instructions for linux installation are a little bizarre, and include changing the ownership of several directories under &#x2F;usr&#x2F;.

Interesting to see another cross-platform GUI library here, but if the source is unavailable for inspection, then it is difficult to trust from a developer and user&#x27;s perspective. Thus, it is equivalent to a malware library.<p>I hope this changes soon. But for now, no thanks and no deal.
