I've wondered why we haven't seen a React Native Qt, React Native Gtk+, or React Native Elementary yet. But I guess those communities just aren't very interested in what JS people are up to.

- potomushto 11y agoThanks, I'm working on it full-time. If you are an everyday Linux user (especially not Ubuntu) and willing to test and/or answer to some questions please reach me out on unknownliveid@hotmail.com.
- jnbiche 11y ago> This is a huge game changer. Agreed. React Native is turning into what a lot of us were hoping QT/QML would. But QT offers a very poor experience to both users and developers for mobile use, due to both license issues (making users download an additional binary scares most of them off) and to the uncanny valley caused by using non-native widgets. React Native has neither of these problems on mobile. QT still rules the desktop, but it looks like only React Native offers hope for a true cross-platform GUI framework. Who would have thought 2 years ago?
- justinmcp 11y agoWe're working a React Native port for Ubuntu (via Qt/QML). It's still early days, but many things are working. Source is here; https://code.launchpad.net/reactnative-ubuntu https://code.launchpad.net/reactnative-ubuntu
