[ANN] Initial release of the threepenny-gui library, version 0.1.0.0
Dear Haskellers, And the shark, he has teeth, And he wears them in (his) face. And Macheath, he has a knife, (But) yes the knife, no-one sees. After an obligatory cryptical quotation from a famous writer, I am pleased to announce the first public release of *threepenny-gui*, a cheap and simple library to satisfy your immediate GUI needs in Haskell. Want to write a small GUI thing but forgot to sacrifice to the giant rubber duck in the sky before trying to install wxHaskell or Gtk2Hs? Then this library is for you! Threepenny-gui is easy to install (!!) because it uses the web browser as a display. Internally, we implement a small web server that communicates with the browser to display GUI elements. Consequently, you can use HTML and CSS to design the user interface. You can freely manipulate the HTML DOM and handle browser events by writing Haskell code. hackage - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/threepenny-gui examples - https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/threepenny-gui#examples source - https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/threepenny-gui Many thanks to Daniel Austin for collaborating with me on this project and to Chris Done for implementing the Ji library which is the basis for this effort. On that note, the threepenny API for creating and manipulating GUI elements departs from earlier traditions. Do you like the new look and feel of the API? What do you think could be improved? Try it out and send us your feedback! Best regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
Hi, I have a Path problem when installing threepenny-gui from Hackage. Probably somtething trivial. Sergey src/BarTab.hs:9:8: Could not find module `Paths' Use -v to see a list of the files searched for. Failed to install threepenny-gui-0.1.0.0 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: threepenny-gui-0.1.0.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 2013/7/21 Heinrich Apfelmus <apfelmus@quantentunnel.de>:

Ah, sorry about that, forgot to include some source files in the .cabal file. Best regards, Heinrich Apfelmus -- http://apfelmus.nfshost.com
