ReasonML GUI "spike" #33

Closed emk closed 6 years ago

emk commented 6 years ago

I want to see if ReasonML is a good choice for a GUI layer.

[x] Build a "Hello, world" app.
[x] Display video.
[x] Convert old server to generate basic JSON needed for GUI.
[x] Figure out how to open a JSON file using the GUI (still very primitive).
[x] Port over CSS.
[ ] Implement automatic window layout and subtitle-only scrolling.
[ ] Implement "scroll to playing subtitle".

Verdict: ReasonML is cool, and it will be pretty great in a year or so. But I still prefer Rust to OCaml, and the new stdweb-based stuff in Rust is looking extremely promising. So, once more, it's time for new UI spike. See #36.
