[Interest] Writing custom Qt Widgets is overly complicated

Hello Tony,

thank you very much for the input on this!
As I mentioned to Federico, the layout itself can obviously be
interchanged, though I agree that a flow-layout makes more sense. I
actually sent the same link you sent me to Federico as a response - I
might have forgotten to CC it to the mailing list though.

I find your approach interesting, though it's not quite what I wanted.
It does roughly the same thing, though the semantics are different, as
the labels themselves are treated less like text and more like separate
interactable widgets. Not to say that's a bad thing, I've opted for a
different approach for the UX question at hand for now anyway, but it
still doesn't sit right with me that I was unable to find a solution for
the exact problem, given how prominent of a solution it is for web
development.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
