KineticUI was written in Headerless C. It is about using the INCLUDE_LEVEL preprocessor macro available in GCC/CLANG to guard the implementation part of a source file so you can place it together with the header definition in a single file and you include this file freely in other source files. Read more about this in (https://github.com/milgra/headerlessc);

- drag between slider
- bad dirty rect
- error handling in mt core functions ( add, del, rel, expand, etc should return with int)
- example projects, test app
- increase fault tolerance of css and html parser
- increase standards compatibility of css and html (type=button, blocks=true non standard stuff)
- figure out how to use dirty rects with double buffering in ku_renderer_egl
- update software renderer, cut out dirty rect, implement image zoom
- test dirty rect handling
- predictable screenshot when video playing
- use hold gesture during scrolling
- solve last column resize problem
- select/copy/paste in textfields
- vh_textinput should seamlessly switch between texture paragraph and glpyh-based paragraph
