Since that's us I can reply...

Yes, this whole thing is from scratch. Mainly because we don't care 
about any OS specific widgets. We just use the window as a canvas 
container and from there one do it on our own. We used this approach in 
the past and it was one of the best decisions. Zero dependencies, one 
file executable.

We do this, because we want to port our product to a new tech-stack. 
But, as you can imagine, still a long way to go.

We start doing some internal tools which can be CLI or GUI based to 
gain more experience. Overall, the framework parts are working well 
together. The framework design works and is very flexible. So, no walls 
hit so far.

Focus is on extending the widgets functionality and features 
step-by-step. We do as we move forward and do the refactoring while 
learning how to implement things best.

Here is a new teaser:

So, we added 9-patch image support for widget styling.
