Using Qt Quick for Rapid UI Prototyping and Development
summary
A Flickr-style mobile UI called Flicker is built from scratch using Qt Quick/QML and finished as a working prototype in about 30–45 minutes, with assets sliced from Inkscape and reusable QML components for the text field and toolbar. Data comes from the Flickr API via XMLListModel, the list shows ~20 items, thumbnails swap _B to _S for performance, states and animated transitions slide into a full‑screen image view, and the prototype runs live on a Nokia N8 using QML Viewer.
