Uno Platform VS react-native-windows

Hey Bocephis, glad to see you were able to figure it out and thanks for posting the resolution. For future reference, you can also ask your questions and any other general question on our community discord channel. Our complete engineering team is there. In addition, our engineering team monitors our GitHub Discussions as well.

The final option is the UNO Platform. Here you have ONE codebase and your stuff will run on the web, as an app, desktop application.

Uno Platform (3rd party framework).

I think you are looking for this: https://platform.uno/

Agree with sibling comment - the JS ecosystem has a huge momentum behind it and probably isn't going away anytime soon.

On the web, Wasm has currently found the most success with compute-intensive applications, since the JS Wasm bridge is still pretty expensive. There are already some Wasm-based frameworks like https://platform.uno/ that work on the web, but things like React/React-native and Flutter have a huge head start.

Are you asking whether there are alternative UI frameworks? If so, yes. You can use Avalonia or Uno Platform, which are cross-platform UI frameworks.

For #3 - you are likely running into a Visual Studio issues listed here. https://github.com/unoplatform/uno/issues/982 . Some troubleshooting steps to work around them are at www.platform.uno/troubleshooting

u/evolution2015 - You have a better chance of getting a complete answer at Uno Platform GitHub discussions or for more chat-like troubleshooting, you can try our Discord - #uno-platform channel. Both have our engineering team monitoring discussions. You can simply just copy/paste your post from here and someone from the team will answer you.

Unlike other solutions like Uno Platform that also target Linux (as a Skia backend) and browsers (using WebAssembly), you can utilize MAUI and Blazor to target browsers. Not sure if there is a solution in the works to target Linux at all for MAUI.

Check out. https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/ This is from Microsoft. I have used it, but only a startup project, it does work, it's pretty cool.

as an aside, i found this bit from the link for https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows:

> Some build-time tools will send telemetry to Microsoft by default.

can we please stop collecting telemetry by default and ask instead? i think it's a relatively easy feature to do and not much friction for users.

I was wonder why aren't devs making desktop apps any more, especially since everyone is buying laptops and desktops again? With all the tooling out there for cross platform, a native experience, and better privacy/security than a webapp.

For example, Here are just two frameworks/tool kits that are easy to use and to build desktop apps with.
