Creator of Feathers UI and MXHX here. I collaborated extensively with the Moonshine.dev team to build this visual form designer. Ever since I worked on the original version of Feathers for Starling and AS3, I’ve wanted a product like this. It’s for all of the folks who prefer to create their custom views with a drag-and-drop GUI. I’m excited that things are finally coming together in this front. Here’s a screenshot of the visual form designer by the way: ![moonshine-dev-og](https://community.haxe.org/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c3afcfe2b9c98b0ee49ae997ddc434374838be48.png) The release of Moonshine.dev is also the first time that MXHX is being officially introduced publicly. It’s a markup language for GUI building with Haxe, inspired by Macromedia’s MXML. Back when I worked with Adobe Flex, I loved MXML. I always found the tree structure of the XML to be so intuitive for adding GUI controls to containers, and it gets especially powerful when you combine it with a visual editor so that you can jump back and forth between your code and the drag-and-drop designer super easily. You can read more about Moonshine.dev and my involvement in the project on the Feathers UI blog: > **[Moonshine.dev introduces a Feathers UI drag-and-drop visual designer and MXHX...](https://feathersui.com/blog/2024/11/21/moonshine-dev-feathers-ui-drag-and-drop-visual-designer/)** > > Design GUIs with Feathers UI and MXHX And be sure to check out the [MXHX website](https://mxhx.dev) for the preliminary documentation that covers everything from language tags, namespaces, compile-time vs run-time parsing, and more. – Josh Tynjala Feathers UI and MXHX creator Moonshine.dev contributor ---
