Linux needs more beautiful apps with attention to UX - the same kind of care that developers of macOS apps put into their apps. That's why even when I'm building an app for Linux[1] I start by trying to make the best macOS app first.
Beautiful app, how did you deal with Qt licensing if I may ask?
One nit regarding website, toggling dark mode causes a video change that has some ugly flashing, I think you could improve this by recording the video without dropshadow and adding the shadow with CSS.
Thanks! I'm using the LGPL version of Qt, since I'm not changing Qt's own source code I can release my app has closed-source easily with dynamic linking. I could also release it with static linking with no problem (in my understanding), if I allow people to download the object files as well so they can link them to any version of Qt they want (but that's a bit too much for now).
Thanks for your suggestion, I'll consider it. But what do you mean by ugly flashing? Is it the instant background change that turn you off?
Yes, the background changes instantly, but video replacement is slower, therefore for an moment the old video shadow background appears distinctly from the site's background color. This is on M1 Max 64 with latest Chrome.
Also, there's a problem with responsive text reflow on your personal site, I've only noticed because I'm using a tiling wm.
I think for the first issue, with the flashing, it seems to flash to you, but it's just the theme being changed to light, isn't it? Or you are specifically only talking about the way the video container doesn't fit the rest of the page while it's loading?
Regarding the second issue, good catch! I'll fix that. Thanks!
Ha, I think you're right, it's the empty container with grey background visible whilst the video is being changed, I actually went frame by frame to confirm. It's getting silly and super nitpicky so feel free to ignore :)
