SharpQuake VS Uno Platform

( I have sucessfully integrated a .net rewrite (https://github.com/Memorix101/SharpQuake) of the quake engine into unity and I've seen someone else do it for UE4. I'm working on PLUQ, which is a nanomsg nng interface integrated into an modern Quake engine (https://github.com/sezero/quakespasm, https://github.com/mdeguzis/ftequake, ...) that on game/level load provides geometry, textures, entities, ... and at runtime a bidirectional channel for the data (enity positions and inputs) needed to render and steer the game from a connected client. The connected client can e.g. be the rendering and input part of the original engine or something Unity3D, Unreal, Godot, ... based. I hope to open up Quake for experimentation using non GPL engines with this...)

And Uno Platform (https://platform.uno/) is akin to React Native in terms of native controls usage.

also UNO Platform (C#) which is suitable for simple or complex cross platform business applications : https://platform.uno/

Why is this a problem? At face value, it isn't a problem. Taking a step back at a more global level, what does "uComponents" mean to the rest of the world? Many of the .NET developers who heavily use NuGet may have not even heard of Umbraco CMS, let alone a 3rd party plugin for it. What if people from the Uno Platform community are browsing NuGet for some kind of components extension library? You can see, this could get confusing outside the scope of the Umbraco community/ecosystem. On top of this, uComponents was developed against Umbraco v4, with its last release in 2016, now it's there to be lingering on the NuGet repository until the end of time, set in stone.

Not a fan of XAML after trying to get into it, but there is Uno Platform. It wraps native widgets on mobile, just like React Native (which is good for accessibility), and uses C#. https://platform.uno/

My guess is that it's mainly focused on mobile. On Windows, it has no overhead (behaving like a normal WinUI 3 app), on macOS I think it uses Catalyst by default (which was developed by Apple to make more iOS apps available for Mac desktops) and on Linux it draws its own widgets that the devs try imitating the GTK style with.

On Android and iOS, it just uses the native widgets which I think is a better experience so you can see my reasons for guessing it's mobile-first. That may or may not be what you want.

> ...building UIs with the document/element api

When the whole premise is flawed, JSX or not, does it really matter if there is a better or worse way of misusing a technology not meant for UIs?

Leave HTML and JavaScript to Wikipedia and other hypertext document libraries.

Unfortunately, WASM is not there yet, but people are trying: https://platform.uno.
