If you want to try something different than the “there-is-no-alternative” front JS/Json/REST stack. This nice list only lacks #Quarkus mention 😉

We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered

Trump‘s strategy is so obvious. Escalation in Minneapolis, invoke the insurrection act, cancel the midterms, because „we are at war“. This strategy comes bundled with bigotry after demanding elections in Ukraine.

JavaFX is missing a native Switch control — every major UI framework has one except JavaFX.

I've implemented a SwitchButton with full theme support. Hope to contribute to OpenJFX.

Thanks @dlemmermann.bsky.social for his help!

Maintaining LTS versions for a project like JavaFX is complex and resource-intensive. It requires a fair amount of the Gluon resources, but it is extremely important to keep JavaFX secure, modern and relevant.
