-# Native. Cross-platform. Aparoksha.
+# About Me
-Create your next cross-platform app with Aparoksha to give it a native look on each platform.
-Aparoksha is easy-to-use, safe, and aparoksha, meaning that its reactive and declarative approach as well as the clean syntax significantly enhance the readability.
+I'm David, a GNOME š£ user enjoying the Swift programming language.
+
-Get Started
+Find Me on the Fediverse
+## Frameworks
-## Start with Simple Views
+I'm currently working on a declarative cross-platform UI framework,
+which displays _fully_ native widgets on each supported platform.
-A view is a piece of the user interface.
-Create your own views, such as `Avatar`, `Post`, and `Timeline`.
-Combine them into pages, windows, and apps.
+The platform-specific backends are completely independent projects, providing widgets that are not part of the cross-platform framework.
+They grow based on your feedback. [Try the frameworks.](https://www.aparoksha.dev)
-
+- [Aparoksha](https://www.aparoksha.dev/) is the cross-platform framework displaying native widgets on each supported platform.
+- [Adwaita for Swift](https://www.aparoksha.dev/backends/adwaita/) is part of the Aparoksha framework, allowing the creation of native apps for the awesome [GNOME desktop](https://www.gnome.org/).
+- Simplifying the use of WinUI on Windows, [WinUI for Swift](https://www.aparoksha.dev/backends/winui/) feels like SwiftUI on Windows.
+- The [TermKitBackend](https://www.aparoksha.dev/backends/termkit/) lets you create Terminal UIs in a declarative way.

-struct Timeline: View {
+Create a declarative framework on top of an imperative API yourself using the [Meta package](https://meta.aparoksha.dev/documentation/meta/).
+Find projects [here](https://www.aparoksha.dev/backends/) and in the [Aparoksha forums](https://forums.aparoksha.dev/).
- var posts: Posts
+## Apps
- var view: Body {
- ForEach(posts) { post in
- Avatar(user: post.user)
- Post(post: post)
- }
- }
-
-}
-```
-{% end %}
-
-## The Magic of the State
-
-Each of your views has the ability to store state throughout view updates.
-Let's create a simple counter view:
-
-
-
-{% crt() %}
-```
-struct SearchView: View {
-
- @State private var count = 0
-
- var view: Body {
- Button(icon: .minus) {
- count -= 1
- }
- Text("\(count)")
- Button(icon: .plus) {
- count += 1
- }
- }
-
-}
-```
-{% end %}
-
-## Supported Platforms
-
-Aparoksha's goal is to enable you to bring your app to as many users as possible on completely different platforms.
-Therefore, it is built in an open and extensible way.
-Creating a backend for a new platform is almost as simple as creating an app!
-
-A list of some backends is available [here](@/backends/_index.md). They can be combined with Aparoksha in a simple way.
-Aparoksha itself currently supports the three major desktop platforms [GNOME](@/backends/Adwaita/index.md), [Windows](@/backends/WinUI/index.md), and [macOS](@/backends/AppKit/index.md).
-What makes the Aparoksha project unique is that each backend is a fully independent project, optimized for its platform.
-In a cross-platform app, you can leverage the full potential of the individual backends by writing platform-specific bits of code.
+- [Memorize](https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.david_swift.Flashcards) is an open source, native Quizlet alternative. It is only available for GNOME (at the moment š).

-Develop beautiful apps following the design guidelines of the GNOME desktop.
-
-Read the documentation to get started or browse the code on GitHub.
-
-## The Backend
-
-The Adwaita backend is based on the _libadwaita_ C API.
-libadwaita is used for developing native GNOME apps.
-
-## The Development Environment
-
-It is recommended to develop Libadwaita apps on a Linux system.
-Linux is probably available for your device and can be installed alongside Windows or macOS.
-I recommend picking a Linux distribution offering a vanilla GNOME experience, such as Fedora or VanillaOS.
-
-Now, install GNOME Builder via the GNOME Software application.
-
-### Flatpak
-
-Flatpak facilitates the distribution of apps on Linux.
-If you decide to use Flatpak already when developing the app, you do not have to install any dependencies on your system.
-Simply clone the template repository, open in GNOME Builder, and run the template app.
-Follow the instructions in the readme file to create your own app.
-
-{{ image(url="Environment.png", alt="A native GNOME app called Tuba") }}
-
-## The Design
-
-This backend allows the creation of apps following the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines.
-The following screenshot serves as an example for GNOME's design language.
-
-{{ image(url="App.png", alt="A native GNOME app called Tuba" transparent=true) }}
-
-## Distribution
-
-The apps can be distributed using Flatpak. The most popular app store is Flathub.
-Read the instructions in the official docs.
-
-## Aparoksha Interoperability
-This backend is part of the Aparoksha package. If you use default Aparoksha elements, they will render correctly on GNOME.
-You can call platform-specific widgets for GNOME as well.

+
+In March, I had the chance to write about the _Adwaita for Swift_ project on the official Swift blog.
+_Adwaita for Swift_ is a declarative interface on top of the libadwaita and GTK frameworks, allowing the creation of fully native GNOME apps.
+
+Some months earlier, The Browser Company published Swift bindings for WinUI 3, the native UI framework on Windows.
+Officially, Swift offers interoperability with C, C++, and Objective-C, but certain packages, such as JavaKit or PythonKit, add support for even more languages.
+Therefore, it is possible to use a huge range of UI frameworks in Swift code.
+
+This is an ideal basis for a cross-platform UI framework.
+
+## Native Apps
+
+Cross-platform UI frameworks like React Native primarily target mobile phones.
+While React Native offers support for Windows and macOS, the look does not fully match that of _really_ native apps built using WinUI or SwiftUI.
+Native Linux UI frameworks like libadwaita and Qt are not supported at all.
+
+While each platform has its own native look, there are obviously many parallels.
+As an example, there is a āflat navigationā pattern in each UI framework.
+Furthermore, it is very common to implement flat navigation with a sidebar or a view switcher.
+
+My goal is to create a single UI framework around those patterns, allowing the creation of apps that look native on each supported platform.
+
+{% alert(note=true) %}
+The following screenshots show a simple user interface built using the Aparoksha framework.
+Note that the framework is still in an early stage of development and currently supports only two platforms.
+I'll mention later in this article why I want to share my project already.
