There is an element of truth to that, especially as I was building the SDK, it helped me a lot that I knew how all the parts worked and could make everything fit together into a cohesive whole. Though now that it's done, I think you don't need much knowledge to use it. Will be interesting to see how other people react to it as it's geared towards designers and junior devs who only know HTML, CSS and basic JS.

Screws are superior as an end product. Old houses will tell you that with the amount of creaking and slop that builds up with nails.

But there are videos floating around about the expertise of some old nail drywall experts. Holy smokes it could be fast. They are probably right about the speed.

And the ability to focus on just aspects that are relevant. That simplifies the problem immensely.

I look at the current situation of UIs in Rust, every one of which is unappealing, and think I could build my own. The basic structure and paradigm is so simple! Then, I think... Unicode support. Right-to-left text display. Affordance for text readers.

All very important, but things I could ignore for myself, but not in a publicly shared library. And... ugh. Either I would have to spend years figuring that stuff out, or pull in a number of other libraries which adds layers of abstraction and complication. So I fire up Civ 6 instead.
