irisandClaude Fable 5.1 0b587629e6 iris/android-app bench: auto-capture diagnostics when the keyboard opens
So Iris can get a report off the phone even if the keyboard wipe (or
some other keyboard-triggered regression) is still present on whatever
build she is holding, independent of whether the on-screen Diagnostics
button itself is drawing.

on_insets_changed edge-triggers on ime_bottom becoming non-zero, waits
KEYBOARD_DIAGNOSTICS_DELAY_MS (500ms, long enough for the resize and a
couple of frames to settle) via a spawned task, then
capture_keyboard_diagnostics reuses show_diagnostics's exact report text,
logs it, copies it to the clipboard unprompted, and shows it through a
new PlatformHandle::show_diagnostics_overlay call into
IrisView.showDiagnosticsOverlay -- a plain TextView + Copy/Close panel
added over the existing IrisView (not replacing it, unlike
showRendererError's one-way trip) so it draws independently of whatever
iris's own renderer is doing, and Close returns to the still-running
session underneath.

iris

My experimental attempt at a rust ui library (also my first ui library).

It's currently designed around using retained data structures (widgets), rather than diffing generated trees from data like xilem or iced. This is an experiment and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

Examples are in examples, eg. cargo run --example tabs.

Goals, in general order:

  1. does what I want it to (text, images, video, animations)
  2. very easy to use ignoring ergonomic ref counting
  3. reasonably fast / efficient (a lot faster than electron, save battery life, try to beat iced and xilem)

dev details

not targeting web rn cause wanna use actual nice gpu features & entire point of this is to make desktop apps / not need a web browser

general ideas trynna use rn / experiment with:

  • retained mode
  • specifically designed around wgpu so there's no translation
  • postfix functions for most things to prevent unreadable indentation (going very well)
  • events can be done directly where you draw the widgets
  • almost no macros in user code & actual LSP typechecking (variadic generics if you can hear me please save us)
  • relative anchor + absolute offset coord system (+ "rest" / leftover during widget layout)
  • single threaded ui & pass context around to make non async usage straightforward (pretty unsure about this)
  • widgets store outside of the actual rendering so they can be moved around and swapped easily (unsure about this but seems to work good for now)

under heavy initial development so not gonna try to explain status, maybe check TODO for that; sizable chance it gets a rewrite once I know everything I need and what seems to work best

it's called iris because it's the structure around what you actually want to display and colorful
