According to their documentation, the _only_ desktop platform they support natively (that is, without something like electron) is windows 10: > Other platforms such as Windows 7 & 8, MacOS, and Linux can be targeted using a web wrapp

I was aware, but I don't recall those projects being very active. Additionally, IIRC they're both implementing their UI widgets differently rather than trying to build a common API that is desktop agnostic. There also is this proj

Correct me if I'm wrong, but using webcomponents as an alternative to a hypothetical version of react native for desktop apps would require loading said web components into a webview, say via Electron; am I correct in that? If so, then

React native is pretty cool, but I do wish they would add support for desktop apps, not just ios and android. Proton native exists and seems stable-ish, but the underlying cross platform UI library (libui) still says it's only at an al

I think it's misnamed. I'm not sure what I'd call it though. Gnu/Windows Subsystem? But yeah, linux to me is anything running a linux kernel. I think the _real_ edge case that I'm not sure on are the l4 kernels that

> Android is not Linux I really, _really_ hate this statement. Android meets the only definition of 'linux' that matters IMO: it runs on a linux kernel. That's linux, full stop. That said, I do find myself agreeing with mo

This article seems to _repeatedly_ misuse the metric 'per hour', or assume that the posited worker was able to work two jobs as the same time. Example: > If a worker holds two full-time minimum wage jobs, they'd be earning

Maybe I'm just spoiled having doing web dev back in the netscape 4 era when things were _really_ bad. These days it seems like a reset stylesheet and a couple polyfills and you're good to go. I don't doubt that certain proble

My biggest objection to PWAs is that a significant part of the value of the app store is the constant scanning for various kinds of malware. I'm not sure that there's a way around that, and that makes the various app stores infini

Community momentum, corporate support, and how significant the changes were between the last two big versions. That last point was a big determinant for me when I was deciding to learn react vs vue. The vue 1 -> 2 upgrade broke a ton of

It's certainly a very small part of the overall GPU-buying community, but nearly the entire hackintosh community has more or less abandoned / foresworn NVIDIA due to lack of mojave drivers. Even on older macos releases, the nvidia

Because it's all the hassle of linux, with less driver compatibility. (Note, I don't think linux is much of a hassle, just saying that bsd doesn't really reduce your problems significantly)
