Re: Muse group is looking for a C++ developer for Audacity development

Hi Joost,

my name is Dmitry, and I'm the developer from the Muse Group, working full
time on Audacity.

Re-platforming to Qt or any other toolkit is an idea for the long term. The
fact that wxWidgets relies on the system libraries, such as GTK or Carbon
is quite an issue for developing a consistent user experience across all
the platforms supported.

We will be absolutely open about our roadmap and we will take all the
feedback from the community into account.

There is an ongoing discussion about the next release and the future
roadmap on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/z2emNJh9

Best,
Dmitry
