Fejix is a cross-platform library for UI display:
- provides windows and input, much like winit or SDL, and also other UI stuff like popups, status icons, notifications, etc.
- does not provide a runtime (i.e. program entrypoint, event loop, timers, threads, background jobs, etc.) or any form of graphics rendering -- build your own!
- supports advanced features like layer composition offloading, energy-efficient updates, client-side decorations, distinguishing multiple input devices, etc.
- C API
- divided into interfaces/extensions inspired by Wayland that allow you to probe what the user's system supports at runtime
- lets you choose the backend
- distinguishes between client-owned (synchronous) and server-owned (event-driven) objects, which allows it to support asynchronous creation, destruction and system/user dismissal for windows and clipboard data.
- inherently single-threaded (because GUI multi-threading is inconsistent across platforms) and gracefully handles memory allocation errors only where it makes sense (for shared memory, framebuffers, icons, and other big binary objects).
This project is in its earliest stage of development.
