"Native" is actually overloaded in the era of hybrid web apps - there are two pivots: - Native code - does the GUI framework compile to machine code? - Native widgets - does the GUI framework use platform widgets, or a platform agnostic layer? In the context of Revery, we used "native" to mean "native code", ie, "compiles to machine code" - and further clarify in the README. It's important for us to make this differentiation - because often people look at the framework and assume its JavaScript. Do you have a suggestion on how to clarify this? Note that, if you're interested in using the platform UI - there's a project called Brisk (https://github.com/briskml/brisk https://github.com/briskml/brisk) that is very similar to Revery, but uses platform UI frameworks (Cocoa/Win32/etc).
