Isolate the UI code in a separate library

[brotzeit]

Hopefully somebody finds the motivation to do this.

[brotzeit]

Even if you don't have the time to do it yourself, it's absolutely legitimate to say the issue should be left open for others who might have the time to do it.

[sebastiencs]

Yes I have thought about that.
But for now I prefer to work on a single repo, once the components get mature maybe...
A library to manipulate child frames would be nice too

[topisani]

yeah, i thought about this as well, id like to use especially the docs child frame and xref-peek - i think waiting a bit makes sense

[dgutov]

+1 on lsp-ui-peek especially. I'd be happy to use it with other backends. And in GNU ELPA especially.

Sideline for ElDoc sounds intriguing as well, although it might be difficult to reconcile with the existing API.

@dgutov Sorry for closing this issue. I think I was a little too motivated while trying to clean the issue tracker. Please add a comment in the future if you think an issue should be kept open. I'm not even sure if I closed the issue intentionally :D

[dgutov]

@brotzeit Hey, no problem.

Thing is, for this to happen, there needs to be both a concerted agreement between the users who wrong the code, and someone motivated to do the extraction. I don't have spare time for this personally, so commenting "please reopen" didn't seem appropriate. It's not something I can demand anyway.
