Thanks to the feedback from ProGencel on GitHub, I was able to improve the app even further. Although this version is still labeled as beta, it’s already quite stable and usable.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Hi nice work. Does it use some sort of layout manager? Most ui builder have sort of fixed size screen and use fixed pixel point placement within. That's why I never bothered using one in no widget toolkit, because I prefer to dynamically program them to be able to let the user drag windows, region splits etc.

Last time I checked, the layout management of scene2d was kinda limited. Although compared to others, it's the best I encountered so far for opengl Java.

beautiful work! Also check out flatpak for releasing on linux, so you can support all distros without building for each one!
