#22Since the submission has no legit title either, I'll just respond with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace
I don't really get the trend of name collisions. First React, now Fuse... what's next, a Linux brand of detergent?
What's not to get? Pretty much all words are used as names already and roughly in proportion to how simple they are.
This same comment chain can waste space in pretty much any thread on any product. What's the point in having it in every thread?

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
In general, it's a matter of rapid prototyping for POCs or MVPs that don't need much. As an example, I'm currently working on a system that needs a minimal iPhone/Android app. Just a login view and a couple buttons. I'm the only engineer working on this, and I have way more important stuff to do than manage two completely different codebases right now. So for my MVP, I'm planning to use React Native to build the mini…
> and I have way more important stuff to do than manage two completely different codebases right now. But why are they completely different? Surely the UI parts are different, but the meat of the work done internally is exposed by a common API?
iOS and Android projects look nothing alike. Sure, on the grand scheme of things, comparing the complexity of the backend to an application that is basically two views, the application with two views is a tiny percentage of the whole thing. But duplicating that percentage right now doesn't buy me anything.

#24Looks like Electron on steroids. The landing page is nice but it's like putting lipstick on a pig - it's still a pig in the end. Also, I never understood why people hate native languages so much - why do you want to replace everything with Javascript? It's shit - it's a necessary evil in the browser but when the environment gives you something better (Swift, Java, etc) why not enjoy it?
> Also, I never understood why people hate native languages so much - why do you want to replace everything with Javascript? Because people don't have the time, money or expertise to write multiple completely separate code bases for cross platform apps and having to keep these code bases in sync will dramatically slow down your ability to extend and adapt your product...?
Cross platform apps don't need to have separate codebases. Cross platform libraries and toolkits do exist.

Is it compatible with Vim? http://airbuysell.com/image/data/abs/household%20and%20pooja...

What toolkit is going to give you an app that feels completely native?
Re: Fuse
#27My understanding is that it is designed primarily to facilitate the interaction between designers and devs and shorten cycle times.

You don't need completely separate code bases, just separate UI implementations.
When did we decide that developer time was more precious than user experience anyway? Every time I see an electron app now I just assume that the devs don't care about their users, just how much easier it is for them to push bloated crap out the door.

If the name is already taken, you can at least go for some qualification (capitlization doesn't count).
For example, "Fuse Tools" (or "Fuse Apps"). As a bonus, the domain name is already fusetools.com.
