More like a custom renderer, calling it react native on linux for now but might change the name later.

This is the repo, it is very early. Currently just a renderer with no system for creating native modules or anything like that. Needs a lot of work.

Great!

I asked because react-native changes a lot, so keeping parity with a different project seems a lot of work

But at the same time, starting with the huge rn codebase does not sound friendly to add a new platform

So starting with the renderer sounds sane 😅

I'd love to see RN on Linux. I was searching for it a while back, since I don't have knowledge to build it myself, I found:

react-nodegui
react-native-gtk4

But they are quite different from RN
with their own apis ☹️

I'll be rooting for your project to be the next newest RN platform!

Ayy! Thanks a lot man. I share your pain so I'm taking the proverbial bull by the horns. The Linux ecosystem has so much potential, it only needs the developer friendliness and it would explode!
