That doesn't answer the question.

It's browser-based so it's all HTML, CSS and JavaScript, written using our own in-house framework.

The windowing / panels / dropdowns / UI components look really nice. Like, almost a whole desktop program. I was just wondering what UI framework you were using. All in house, awesome.

[edit] Sorry, was the UI for the Construct actually built using Construct? Do you guys use PixiJS or anything like that as an underlying engine?

Thanks, we were aiming to make a desktop-grade UI in the browser and it's nice to hear feedback like that!

The UI was separately developed with JavaScript, it wasn't made in Construct itself (which is mostly canvas-based). The whole runtime is also in-house - we don't use PixiJS or any other libraries, once again it's all our own in-house engine, custom WebGL/WebGPU renderer, etc.

I love how not using some sort of JS framework/library is confusing people! I for one appreciate the fact that you are not for multiple reasons.
