Hello everyone,
I'm currently at an intermediate level with QML and looking to deepen my understanding by studying well-structured, real-world projects. I'm particularly interested in open-source applications that demonstrate best practices in QML and Qt Quick development, such as effective use of layouts, models, animations, and integration with C++ where applicable.
If you know of any open-source projects or repositories that are good examples of clean, maintainable QML code, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.
Thank you in advance!

Hi
KDE comes to mind.

Yes, I’ve come across similar recommendations in other forums, and I agree — KDE projects are some of the best examples when it comes to high-quality QML code.
That said, I was wondering if there are any other open-source projects (outside of KDE) that you would recommend studying — ideally ones that also demonstrate solid architecture, clean QML practices, and possibly QML-C++ integration.

If memory serves well, Wireshark has had its GUI fully rewritten with Qt.

Here are some other notable projects I came across on GitHub that I think are worth checking out:
-
Cool Retro Term – A terminal emulator that mimics the look and feel of old-school CRT monitors. Very nostalgic and well-crafted.
-
Meshroom – A powerful 3D reconstruction software based on photogrammetry, open-source and great for experimentation.
-
Dots hyprland – A neat Hyprland dotfiles collection with a clean and customized look.
-
shell – Another dotfiles repo, minimal and well-structured, perfect for ricing inspiration.
-
V2Ray Desktop – A GUI client for V2Ray on Windows, useful for managing proxy configurations.
Hope these are helpful to others as well!
