From the Github README:

> Dowe is a Rust compiler and runtime toolchain for building fullstack products from a unified, declarative source graph. Applications are authored in Dowe Source Format (.dowe), checked against explicit language and platform contracts, and lowered into the artifacts required by each selected target.

It's an interesting idea, but it's hard to tell what the native parts are. The home page has a section titled "Native Targets" with an arrow icon that looks like it'd go to some docs, but appears to just be an icon. The running example is a straightforward responsive web page. The docs are centered around UI components for this tool and the lack of a Tree component really makes it look like this is a web framework.

Does it actually generate a native mobile or desktop application? I probably overlooked it, but I couldn't find an example app to build and experiment with locally.
