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!
I want to make something like expo where anyone can just write react and have it be bundled into a native application. Also want to allow developers to create custom GTK widgets with C++ or something like that and be able to plug it into their codebase. Microsoft already did this for Mac and Windows

Did you forked RN like Microsoft did, or is more like a custom react renderer?
Also, there is an repo that I can follow the progress?
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.

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 😅
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!
Can you make Gnome widget and stuff with it?
Added you btw :)
What is your goal? Do you want to create something specific?
