| By the way, I have an Apple M4 MBP on order, so should be able to test my ‘C’ next week. |

Having a good dig into JUCE today. That might be the way forward for the GUI.
Not going to be easy though! Pretty advanced JUCE, and I'm only getting to grips with the basics! |

Now I have an M4 machine, I found what look like a couple of bugs in the implementation on there. One makes sense, just didn't hit it on the Intel machine.
One looks like a bug in the Apple IOKit layers. An interrupt message contains an extended data response! Worked around it for now.
GitHub repository contains the fixes. |

I’m a long-time G2 user with a professional background in graphic design. I’ve not worked on application UI but I have done plenty of website UI and UX design. I’m not sure how much help I’d be but certainly willing to lend a hand. Feel free to reach out, happy to discuss more and assist where I can.

Thanks for the offer of help, but the main thing I'm attempting to get to grips with, is the mechanisms behind the GUI.
There are various frameworks available for GUI generation on Mac, but they're mostly OpenGL based. OpenGL is no longer being supported on Mac, so I am/we're being pushed towards Metal for custom stuff. That's pushing me/us towards Swift.
It's making the decision on which way to jump quite difficult.
VCV, the open source modular system, uses GLFW - but that's also OpenGL based as the name suggests. If we're going to future-proof this, it's quite difficult to decide the route.
Also having a lot of professional distractions at the minute - job hunting. |

As a full-time TypeScript web dev who would love a cross-platform, maintainable G2 editor, I'd vote for TS / Electron.
It's almost certainly not the *best* framework for the job, but no framework is going to be ideal, and for long-term maintainability, I think the Web stack is a good bet. It's got a long history of backwards compatibility, so breaking changes are fairly low-probability.
Given that we have ian-s's patch viewer as a starting place, that's another argument for using TS / Electron. We have a starting point to work from that's not married to aging, closed-source tech (Delphi).
I don't have much free time for hacking these years, as I parent young kids, but I'd be happy to contribute as I can. I've got a good amount of interactive GUI experience, including rolling drag-and-drop UIs a few times, both in native Python and browser-based JS.
I don't own an Apple Silicon Mac, and I run a Linux desktop, so I wouldn't be much use in helping with any MacOS-specific UI tech.
