Totally agree on the critique of our XVT website. U++ has done a really nice job on theirs. We have not focused on marketing, and that is an important part of serving users/potential users. We are in the process of replacing the site, but it will probably be the end of April at best, more likely May.

Yes, it ain't that much fun being a "best kept secret!" Lots of folks never heard of XVT. We're gonna work on that, but still our focus is more on getting the next set of features and functions delivered *sigh*.

Well, actually, what is the most interesting to me is that you seem to actually make some money (?) by developing GUI toolkit Smile

Something I have always considered impossible by a long shot Wink

(Although I make money USING the toolkit we have developed).

I also see surprising that you consider our "marketing" superior:)

If you have a chance, say more stuff about the focus. That sounds interesting. There are many ways to approach platform portability, as well as code writing. REALbasic certainly took an interesting approach! I'll post something about our approach/focus in a week or so, as well. It has been exciting to find U++. There are so many ways to skin a cat, as they say. No tool meets everyone's needs, even though we all tend to think we do it right or the best, etc. We do have the competitive spirit, but we also honestly appreciate having good competitors like U++ and Qt, etc. It proves the market's desire for solutions.

(And yes, Mindtraveller, I've been very upfront that I work at XVT, including using my corp email and website in profile, but I do want to be respectful and give credit to the U++ team for their hard work and successes.)

Actually, why not. Well, first of all, it is still a bit weird feeling discussing it here, especially XVT being commercial toolkit, OTOH I always wanted this forum to be more "open", so I guess I can take it Smile

Besides, there are too many secrets to resolve if you are going to do something like this and we are definitely willing to share... Smile

Maybe we can even get something back.... Smile
