I've been using slint for a desktop project recently and having a lot of fun with it - it's pretty simple and the design has an interesting and fairly clean separation between the UI language and the backing application code (in Rust in my case). Recaptured a bit of my lost love for desktop apps.

How's it look and feel integration wise? Are the context menus native? Can you use native menubars?

These were a couple of my pain points with QML in the past, although they've been fixed in recent Qt releases.

If you have any code you can share, I'd love to see it.

On macOS and Windows, the menubar is native. On Windows, context menus are, too. On macOS it‘s a small patch away, we just haven‘t gotten around. (https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/blob/7bb333c77dd477f8625c8... )

Shout out to the muda folks here and big thanks to npwoods :)

Nice, what's the story on Linux support on Wayland and Qt/GTK shells?
