Rapicorn is a toolkit for rapid development of graphical user interfaces using C++ and Python, aiming at significantly improving the developer and user experience. Some parts are still in prototype development stage, but a strong set of foundation technologies has now been established. Everybody is free to participate with ideas, code or wiki contributions and artwork (we need artists for SVG themes in particular).
The source code of this project is available free of charge and is released under the LGPL, the GNU Library General Public License. This allows everyone to make use of the source code free of charge, use it in proprietary projects, share it, modify it and redistribute changed versions. Resubmission of improvements to the upstream project are appreciated but not required.
Rapicorn brings UI-design, UI-notation and UI-programming as close together as possible. To accomplish this, it provides conscise ways for the notation of user interface elements, usable also throughout design phases. Simple but powerful programming mechanisms are provided to automate binding of programming and GUI logic and to minimize manual work.
