Could you add some information about licence? Currently I don't know what is it compatible with and it's not listed on OSI. So unless someone's up for reading lots of legalese, it's not easy to use/publish.

This is reminding me a lot of shoes.rb (in a good way)

Awesome work!

This looks super cool, exactly what I've been wanting to create some useful widgets! Thanks for sharing!

First time I hear about "copyfarleft license".

I wonder what that means in practice for such a library.

Very cool project, and well thought with the choice of Raylib or SDL2. But since Raylib can compile to Android (https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/examples/Makef...), do you think it could be difficult to add Android as a target platform ?

This looks really good.

How would you compare this to RubyMotion?

looks neat, and definitely in the spiritual tradition of shoes! how does deployment work? can this be used to ship apps where the end user doesn't need to be aware of hokusai or ruby?

Looks really cool. Just a curiosity though, why xmake instead of rake?

this is really cool, thanks for contributing to the ruby ecosystem!! Do you have any example sites? I couldn't find a reference on your overview

Cool.. I guess but I just wonder.. is writing the UIs in code an actual practice that people do these days?

I program (mostly) in C++ using Qt for my UIs and I just use the Qt Designer to visually drag and drop to build my UIs and the actual code gets generated by the tool.

Fast and simple.
