Roadmap

lucid - Roadmap

Overview

This issue outlines the tasks concerning lucid. It also describes the current state of lucid and gives a rough idea of the framework's stability.

lucid is divided into 7 parts at the surface level

• Core

  The core of lucid is... well the Core, it's no_std and provides basic primitives and utilities used all over lucid.\ The Core also contains the layout engine and the style-sheet definitions.\ If you are developing on a embedded system the lucid core is your best friend!

• Component Kit

  The component kit provided with lucid is a no_std kit with many components that the end-user can use. When the camouflage cargo feature is enabled the components mimic the target platform's equivalent components as closely as possible, you can force override the look of components by enabling features for platforms individually, viz, macos, linux, windows.

• Pane

  Pane is a window creation and management framework which provides features favorable over using winit as well as easily integrates with lucid.\ Pane supports macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android, Web!

• Vivid

  Vivid is the wgpu, glow & glutin implementation for Pane used by lucid.

• Clearglyph

  Clearglyph is a pure-rust no_std HarfBuzz port, which is framework and platform agnostic. Additionally clearglyph provides text layout utilities such as UAX#14 line break opportunities and line breaking for complex text such as Thai.

• Unitable

  Unitable (short for Unicode Table) is a crate providing minimal perfect hash lookup tables for various Unicode related data used by Clearglyph.

Hello @arHSM,

I recently had the opportunity to look through the 'lucid' project and I wanted to share some thoughts.

Firstly, the idea behind 'lucid' - a multi-platform and robust GUI framework written in Rust - is quite promising. It's impressive that the framework aims to provide a solution for creating GUI applications for all major platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS, Android, and even embedded systems. The list of features, particularly the no_std core and clearglyph, make 'lucid' a compelling project to watch and potentially contribute to.

Speaking of contributions, I appreciate that you've created a clear set of contribution guidelines and have fostered a community through your personal Discord server. This is a great way to invite collaboration and discussion around the project.

The bug report and feature request templates are very well detailed, which should help in maintaining the quality of issues raised and in turn the overall quality of the project.

However, I had difficulty in accessing some of the code files in the repository. This could be a problem for potential contributors and users who want to understand the project better. If this is an issue on my end, any guidance would be appreciated. If not, it might be worth looking into this to ensure all parts of the project are accessible.

I'm excited to see where this project goes and I hope to contribute to it in the future. Keep up the great work!

Best, Auto
