How is "Now one for egui, please" not a request? Are you suggesting that was just a wish you're putting out into the universe hoping someone fulfills it? "please" is a word you use as a request, typically. Entitlement w.r.t open source just kills me.

There's the charitable interpretation of others I know you're capable of. One might even consider my comment as a starting point for other interested parties to discuss related functionality for a related toolkit. I don't know what others know. Perhaps there's one out there already?

I want to apologize. I just lashed out from my past bad experience. You don't really deserve it, and you're right, it could just open up a discussion about writing an alternative for egui. Sorry about that.
Thank you, and no worries. I appreciate that you took time to consider the interaction and write this, not everyone would. I'm sorry that my comment caused you distress of any sort. It wasn't my intention to demand anything from anyone, though I see how my comment could be interpreted that way. I'm really thankful for all the open source work done by other members of the community, and that's why I work to contribute everything I can. This is an exciting development for the imgui folks, and as an egui user, I'm just a little jealous! Here's hoping that all the toolkits get nice RAD builders sooner rather than later. I'd be happy to contribute to an egui effort.

Relax. It's an idiomatic expression, perhaps you're not familiar with it, it doesn't usually signal entitlement.
