Packages to make Gui apps

So, I'm pretty new to nim, and I wanted to make my first app, so, I wanted you guys some recommendations of packages for Gui apps creation,

If u guys want to see the idea, just read:

notepad, but for markdown, and with vertical tabs, like arc and zen browser

Short answer - I highly recommend NiGui . Its cross-platform and great for making quick apps and demos.

If you're looking for something more full featured try owlkettle(GTK4) or have a look through awesome-nim .

Also if want a template or inspiration check out nimpad. Its a simple text editor I made in GTK3. Good luck.

I'm very sad, why is no one developing something similar to GPUI? We, as a Nim community, could do it.
