Proton Native
Create native desktop applications through a React syntax, on all platforms
Why?
On mobile, it used to be hard to build beatiful cross-platform apps. Then React Native came along, giving us a seamless way to build user interfaces and manage state in code, all while doing it cross platform.
On desktop, there is no such tool. You can create a GUI using something like Qt, but the code to make it is messy and unorganized. Having made a very large GUI myself, it gets very cumbersome to manage all of that.
Some of you might be saying that you could do it in Electron. It's a good tool, but it brings in a lot of overhead, running a full webbrowser to manage a small GUI, while Proton Native can do the same, using native tools, with a smaller size and with less resource usage.
Proton Native does the same to desktop that React Native did to mobile. Build cross-platform apps for the desktop, all while never leaving the React eco-system. Popular React packages such as Redux still work.
Compare this code in Qt (Python):
To this code using Proton Native:
It is not only shorter, it is also easier to read and to edit, and can easily utilize the power of the state.
