valence-native VS Litho (By Facebook)

Valence Native is kind of a React Native fork that supports Linux for the desktop but your mileage may vary. Main problem you may encounter is that it likely won’t be supported by most of the additional libraries in the RN ecosystem. https://github.com/valence-native/valence-native

> There's also https://github.com/valence-native/valence-native that uses Qt.

There's been more than a year without a commit in this project, I'm not going to say it's abandoned yet but that's not that far off I guess, good luck with the issues you'll encounter.

> You can wrap the React Native Web target in Tauri or Electron for Linux.

That's one of the only realistic solution for now in my opinion.

Waiting for Litho to be the new UI development standard https://fblitho.com/

IIRC fb is using this custom list view https://fblitho.com/

Litho by Facebook

Just a little correction, none of facebook or instagram mobile app use react native. On android, facebook, messenger, and instagram use litho library (which facebook team has also developed)

It seems unlikely that FB would give up on Litho, which is extremely performance focused, to use react native instead. Not for their bread & butter flagship news feed anyway https://fblitho.com/

I've seen some old conference talks from their team about https://fblitho.com/. I believe that what they use or at least used.

Facebook's internal android repository is still mostly Java, but there is a large push to switch to Kotlin, and Kotlin's internal support has grown dramatically over the last couple of years. Coroutines have recently been allowed (although I'm personally not a fan of that decision). Flow/Compose are not necessary as we have internal tools that do similar things (looking at you, Litho).
