Quick update on what has been going on in futr development (a native nostr desktop client):
- solved memory leak in Qt5
- fixed recursive re-rendering bug in Qt5
- enable QML debugger through Haskell binding
- improve event handling and Qt5 signal triggering
These things were a major blockers before next release, unfortunately it took way longer than expected. However within the next 1-2 weeks, the UI Updates will be done and then you'll get a Windows binary as well. Next release comes with tons of new features and Bugfixes.
Side note for other developers: Qt5 Quick is awesome, however there are some things you just can't solve intuitively, this thing will just eat all CPU resources and you don't know why. I never had to benchmark a web frontend, but here you have to verify whether or not it's working efficiently. You just have to know certain things or you get bitten.
