Recommendations for Well-Written Open-Source QML Projects to Study

[iliya faramarzi]

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.

[iliya faramarzi]

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.

@SGaist
Yes it's with QT, but i want some QML projects. But it's absolutely good to read.

Thanks
