JUCE User Experience Extension
CAUTION: work-in-progress this will be rebased!
JUCE is a powerful C++ cross-platform framework. It's one of the most used frameworks for developing Audio Plug-Ins (VST, AAX, Audio-Unit, etc).
Cross-platform and GUI:
When it comes to GUI/UI, Cross-platform frameworks can be divided into 2 major types:
- Use native OS components (eg. React Native, Xamrin, etc...)
- Framework drawn components (Qt, JUCE, JavaFX/Swing, etc...)
JUCE is using the second, it makes its own UI components.
The advantage of that approach is that your UI code should be the same on all platforms.
Mobile Platforms
With the evolution of mobile platforms, JUCE was quickly to add iOS/iPadOS and Android support, making it possible to build the same UI to even more form-factors.
While it's really cool seeing your software 'running' on mobile. Similar to the web, not all UI translates well between desktop and mobile or touch devices. (Eg. pop-ups - very useful on desktop, almost impossible to use on touch devices, tablets included).
JUX
JUX is aimed at being a complimentary library to improve JUCE UI building blocks.
jux::ListBox: Improved ListBox with more capabilities. (currently custom height for each row)
jux::ListBoxMenu: A hybrid navigational list component so you could use same code for listbox and popup.
- Limitations: Currently similar to
juce::PopupMenuit's very hard to update items (eg. tick/untick an item).
jux::SwitchButton: Very simple switch button.
JUX is MIT licensed.
(keep in-mind JUCE itself is dual-licensed and should be handled separately).
