    The only thing that meaningfully contributes to the size of the app is the size of the GUI library libraries. It currently bundles both Mac and Windows, so you can build packages f…

    The library is already built to be largely library agnostic. To add a new library, just add a file that translates my calls to the library calls. This is how I achieved both Qt and…

    The reason I did not add a renderer to React Native and went with my own renderer and reconciler was because mobile and desktop behave differently. The goal of the project is to ma…
