Research direction

Start by reviewing the Qt port work in the referenced wcm-qml ssinterface tree and compare its scope with the existing wcm project. Done would be a complete, tested port proposal or implementation that maintainers can evaluate, but this issue does not name project files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I just wanted to gauge interest if a port to the Qt toolkit would be welcome, in the project.

I have been poking at it a bit, and just wanted to ask, before just dumping a gigantic PR on the project

This is by no means complete and I'm still working on it, and testing things, but if you wanted to have a look:

https://git.sr.ht/~sfalken/wcm-qml/tree/ssinterface

Some of this work is being done with the assistance of an LLM, just in the interest of full disclosure.
