Man, that’s awesome, and I see that you’ve been actively hacking on it
today, it looks really neat.

That would be great. In the meantime, we can write quick dummy widgets
in their own QML components like you did for the Button. This way, it
should be trivial to switch to the proper desktop widgets later.

I’ll start playing with it right away, I’ll push whatever changes I come
up with in a branch of mine to let you have a look at them and see if
you want to merge them.

Cheers,
