greetings, i want to build a daw (digital audio workstation), but i have no idea where to even start. here are my needs and the options i’ve found:
my needs:
- load and keep things (audio, midi) in memory
- cross-platform compatibility is not a requirement
the options i’ve found:
flutter- gtk/qt
- raylib (with zig)
- webassembly (with zig)
flutter: the first option that came to my mind was flutter. i thought it would give me a quick start in laying down the ui, but i don’t think it has the capability to fulfill my needs (please correct me if i’m wrong)
gtk/qt: no opinion
raylib (with zig): it’s cool (my choice as of now)
webassembly (with zig): it would be an ultimate comfort to build this way ig, but is it possible to make that web app into desktop one (like tauri or something)?
id really appreciate your opinions and advice
ps: i hope i’m clear. i got a headache searching about these. i’ll update this post for more clarity later
That’s gtk.
It is actually a GTK4 theme. You can use GTK4 without libadwaita but not the other way around.
I would say a “superset of gtk” since the point of libadwaita is shipping more widgets targeting Gnome UI/UX (including its theme). That’s why they describe it like “Building blocks for modern GNOME applications”.
True, but the concept of a theme is easier to understand. You also can run libadwaita on Windows and probably other platforms
