Hello everyone! I’ve been playing around with Wayland for a bit and was hoping to start learning some more about it. For example, I would be interested in making a lock screen, similar to Swaylock, as a toy project.
What GUI toolkit would you use to develop apps on Wayland? I’ve added a little poll below with some of the popular choices I’ve seen thrown around. Feel free to add your own suggestions and maybe leave a comment as to why you’d use that!

Electron 😎✨️
FIREFOX!
I found the easiest to work with to be QT.
That looks very good, thanks for sharing it
Qt by a country mile. Wayland is just another backend, and you won’t notice a difference between targeting Wayland and any other platform – unless you’re doing platform specific things in your app (like tray icons, but even then…)
Qt no doubt.
I’ve played around with (only played around with, I haven’t done any actual development with either but I’ve heard they’re similar) GTK, QT and Tk (actually tkinter from Python), and QT seems the most intuitive. It just feels right to me, compared to the others.
