• commands accepted on STDIN, events dispatched on STDOUT
• can be used with any kind of script or programming language
• MacOS like smooth kinetic animations
• font animatioms
• deterministic session record and replay for automated testing
• gpu or cpu based alpha blendig
• wayland connector with window and layer support

KineticUI Daemon usage :

check out the controlling script of wcp and wfl

KineticUI was written in Headerless C. It is about using the INCLUDE_LEVEL preprocessor macro available in GCC/CLANG to guard the implementation part of a source file so you can place it together with the header definition in a single file and you include this file freely in other source files. Read more about this in (https://github.com/milgra/headerlessc);

• drag between slider
• bad dirty rect
• error handling in mt core functions ( add, del, rel, expand, etc should return with int)
• example projects, test app
• increase fault tolerance of css and html parser
• increase standards compatibility of css and html (type=button, blocks=true non standard stuff)
• figure out how to use dirty rects with double buffering in ku_renderer_egl
• update software renderer, cut out dirty rect, implement image zoom
• test dirty rect handling
• predictable screenshot when video playing
• use hold gesture during scrolling
• solve last column resize problem
• select/copy/paste in textfields
• vh_textinput should seamlessly switch between texture paragraph and glpyh-based paragraph
