My current understanding is that both Boost and the Standard C++ commitee are interested in fully C++ library. However, the subject is complex and no library until now gathered enough consensus to even get to the review stage of the boost process (from memory). You have to be ready for tons of feedback pointing problems. Now, I just read the websites but I have some questions: 1. can you write somewhere a big comparison between your library and other popular GUI C++ libraries? 2. if you want to submit your library to Boost, I think it would need to be compatible (or maybe just use) boost.thread instead of your own solution 3. the STR macro is a big problem, I think it will be a big source of negative feedback. Now that we have boost.locale, would it be possible to work with it instead? 4. I understand how you can build a GUI application in a way that is mostly a list of statements. Does it means that you'd better organize your windows/forms "types" as constructor functions? (ok found this that partially answer my question: http://nanaproject.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/idioms-and-insights-for-a-good-d...) 5. It is said that Nana is cross-platform, but I don't see any demonstration of this (nevermind, I just found this: http://nanaproject.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/tutorial-of-release-0-2-3/ ) What are the target platforms? 6. Should it work in non-graphic contexts like command-line only display? (I'm thinking about GUI working in bash for example) 7. Is it thought to be easily extendable? For example, can I write myself a new front-end implementation and plug it in? 8. do you have an available example of complex application being built with this library? Joel Lamotte

Hi, all I am developing a GUI library, it takes aim at easy-to-use and portable library for modern C++ methods. The project at http://stdex.sourceforge.net A git repository at http://nanapro.codeplex.com A brief at http://nanaproject.wordpress.com/2011/12/16/preliminary-study-of-nana-c-libr...

Is there any interest in this library? Is it possible to compile/apply the linux port back on windows using mingw64 and posix threads? Since you are free of specialized compilers

I'm interested in a GUI library which takes a more value-based approach. By your preliminary study document, it seems to be this direction, is that right? I believe that a deep analysis of salient properties and copyability might permit a library interface that is much more comfortable for C++, and more in-tune with boost.
