2026 vector user interface library

Hello everyone :waving_hand:
I’ve project I want work on next year called V U I

VUI (Vector User Interface)

is middle ground solution between GUI and TUI
it stands for (Vector User Interface) a UI made of vectors
it’s compiled svg/css into opcodes made of 5 digits
for each elements of the svg and css specification
that could be compiled and de-compiled easily and load blazingly fast :high_voltage:
run cross-platform (Linux,BSD,Win,Mac,Android,IOS)
it’s very tiny yet beautiful library to draw fast UI
Here a preview scheme


start the project by forking NanoSVG lib
Next year I’ll search and contact a group of developers
so we can start working on this project.

I love this! It very much reminds me of an LCARS interface. I’ve definitely daydreamed about something between tui and gui so its definitely awesome to see someone taking this kind of project on.

Thank you,I hope it goes as I intended
and yes it will looks more like sci-fi UI movie because almost all of elements can be animated with great performance and smooth interactions.

Hi @Halano, your TUI/GUI looks great! Are you making it available as FOSS? Is there a GitHub repository? I am looking around for something light-weight as I am still trying to decide whether to use QT or GTK4 for a GUI I am trying to construct. (I call my GUI project long-wait, certainly not light-weight.)

It’s not public nor beta stage yet I’m looking for developers to initial the project and good collaboration it’s gonna be similar to fltk :sparkles: but even faster modern and features packed.

@rogerp I even prefer win32 over QT and gkt4
these gui framework are buggy / slow
so much (layers,abstraction,bloat)
I’m disappointed that linux standard gui framework is gtk
I hope things shift better.
