Last time I've looked at Relm4 it was in the middle of global refactoring that required changes to all codebases. Is it stable(-r) now?

Also what is this cross-platform you speak of, if we're talking about Gtk4? Compiling glib on Windows doesn't sound very cross-platform to me. Heck, Gtk4 doesn't sound very cross-platform if we're thinking about anything that's not Gnome.

The last release seems to be from April. Aren't GTK and glib theoretically cross platform? Granted, I haven't really seen any example of that though...

Theoretically probably yes, but practically... I've spend whole weekend to try to force wxWidgets (gtk-based) to compile without X11 support (wayland only). The amount of problems with glib+gtk I've encountered on Linux forced me to go outside and doubt in my ability to think like a programmer. And gtk and glib are both Linux-first projects.

(I failed to achieve that Wayland-only build btw)
