borealis

Controller and TV oriented UI library for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, PSV and Nintendo Switch.

• Mimicks the Nintendo Switch system UI, but can also be used to make anything else painlessly
• Hardware acceleration and vector graphics with automatic scaling for TV usage (powered by nanovg)
• Can be ported to new platforms and graphics APIs by providing a nanovg implementation
• Powerful layout engine using flex box as a base for everything (powered by Yoga Layout)
• Automated navigation paths for out-of-the-box controller navigation
• Out of the box touch support
• Define user interfaces using XML and only write code when it matters
• Use and restyle built-in components or make your own from scratch
• Display large amount of data efficiently using recycling lists
• Integrated internationalization and storage systems
• Integrated toolbox (logger, animations, timers, background tasks...)
