  1. This is a simple tutorial that expects the reader to know what “trunk” is and how to install / use it. Also there are just too many details that are being brushed over and the order creation is sometimes reversed. I get confused as to what file the tutorial is currently in. And for me, separation into several files for the sake of clarity would be obvious. This tutorial is a nice read. but not very good as a practical example. It was not for me.

  2. I agree with the prior comment. At least add on top of the code which file you are currently editing. It is mentioned once or twice but then brushed over as we change between files later. The more clarity the better.

    I could not completely follow this example to reproduce the build so it was not useful for me in determining if this is something I want to commit more time into learning.

    1. Hey Phil! We had Mario take a look at the article, and we posted an update up to that says the following: “Update 08/21/2024: Originally, Iced was focusing more on the web when this article was written, but since then, they’ve intensified their focus towards native GUI. Updating your dependencies based on this article will not work. We will update this article if anything changes on that front.” Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
