react-native-macos

There was a community effort[1] with similar goal on macOS. I was a tiny bit disappointed that they stopped working on it when Apple announced Project Catalyst. It's good to have MS carrying the touch on this topic. [1] https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos

Have you seen React Native Windows (https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows) and react-native-macos (https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos)? I haven't used either, but they both look very popular, 5k-10k stars on Github.

React for desktop already exists, so yes, I guess it makes sense https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows

People are trying https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop But without top-level standardisation effort it will not work.

Yes. I'd like to see a stripped down embeddable browser engine - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9914925 Also there are existing projects like https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos

It also irks me that that list was shared as an image. For me, it's just an inconvenience. For others, it's an accessibility problem, at least until OCR is 100% accurate. Anyway, here's the list (I tested all the URLs): Windows: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows macOS: https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos Linux (Qt): https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop AR: https://github.com/HippoAR/react-native-arkit VR: https://facebook.github.io/react-vr/ TV: https://github.com/react-tv/react-tv Shell consoles: https://github.com/Yomguithereal/react-blessed Word: https://github.com/nitin42/redocx PDF: https://github.com/diegomura/react-pdf 3D: https://github.com/Izzimach/react-three Sketch app: http://airbnb.io/react-sketchapp/ Keynote: https://twitter.com/nishb1/status/913744410537537536 Hardware: https://github.com

Finally being able to transfer knowledge and code, and due to the generic nature of React in

> What often goes unnoticed is that declarative languages are not very future-proof [...] Surely that will not happen to React, you say, because it gets so many things right? Surely that will not happen to React, you say, because it gets so many things right? It is often not appreciated how simple React really is. Its simplicity is actually well suited to survive a long, long time. Forget classes, lifecycles, schedulers and all this stuff for a moment. If you boil it down what you're left with is but a single signature: `createElement(name, props, chilren)`. That's what JSX transpiles into. With that you can map pretty much every visual-oriented api on earth and as we can plainly see it goes further than that and starts rendering flat out everything that can be rendered in the same friendly manner we're used to: shell consoles: https://gi

You can certainly do that for iOS and Android - I've recently launched an application myself which does just that. At least 95% of the code is shared between platforms. There are some desktop bindings available, but they're relatively experimental: https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows https://github.com/jamrizzi/react-gtk (no code yet, just intent to develop)

There is this: https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos

Yes, there are native UIs on desktop. I tailored my answer for react-native, as you mentioned that. 1. macOS -> Aqua [1], apparently there exists an community package for react-native [2] 2. react-native-windows [3] by Microsoft which apparently has support for Windows 10 and xbox 3. There are other UI kits for linux and cross-platform, e.g. qt and gtk. I did not find much about react native there, except for ubuntu [4] PS: I got those hits by googling "react native for desktop" :P [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_(user_interface) [2] https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos [3] https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows [4] https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/react-native/blob/ubuntu/REA...

There's also React Native, which can work on macOS (https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-macos). I'm not sure about other operating systems, though.

> [...] you treat a non-flattering language as me being frustrated [...] You're right; I was being presumptuous about your emotional state. I apologize. -_- Let me try to clarify: Companies like Slack and Nylas and Spotify understand the performance implications of using Electron and it _is_ a real problem, but the _benefits_ of using something like Electron, at least currently, outweigh the performance troubles. There's simply a _much_ lower cost to iterate quickly on a web-driven application. That said, we're all frustrated about the performance implications (users and companies alike), and this this is reflected in the direction the industry is taking. I predict Electron _will_ become less popular in the next year or two as React Native desktop support becomes proven by one or more major players: - Linux: https://github.com/CanonicalLt
