Layout Engines

[wise tangle]

I'd like to look into developing apps for my rm2, mostly to cater my own needs (something that I'm currently thinking about is how to make sense of the notes I take with org-mode in emacs on my rm2). I saw https://github.com/canselcik/libremarkable and it's definitely something I'd like to explore, I think being able to script things in Lua is pretty great. But is there any ready-made layout engine that I could use? Ideally I'd be looking for a very trimmed down web renderer that has font and css support. Does something like this exist?

I guess qtwebkit is something that could work? But I'd appreciate a more lightweight option, and I don't think I need JS

Do you know appload?

AppLoad can run QML applications, and that sounds like exactly what you’re looking for, though I’m far from an expert here:

QML (Qt Meta-object Language) integrates JavaScript to enhance user interface functionality, allowing developers to use JavaScript for property bindings, signal handlers, and custom methods within QML documents. This combination enables the creation of dynamic and interactive applications while maintaining a clear separation between UI design and application logic.
I don’t know much about it though, so definitely ask around in #general-development if you’d like to learn more, I think.
