## Frameworks

I'm currently working on a declarative cross-platform UI framework, 
which displays _fully_ native widgets on each supported platform.

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.

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/).

## Apps

- [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 😎).
