If you look at the roadmap section there's really nothing to screenshot yet. Widgets available: View, Image, Text. Widgets not available: Input, Button, Slider, Checkbox, ScrollView and everything else not on their list.

#5The more I hear about Reasonml the more it intrigues me. This project is obviously in early stages, but it appears to have found a combination of parts from the ocaml and web development ecosystems that just might work well. All the best!

#6If I built a web app with Reason can I reuse the code and turn it into a desktop app using Revery?

The project looks interesting, but the licensing change from MIT is a bit worrying:
"Oni 2 is licensed under the CC-BY-NC-4.0 license."
CC licenses are not a good fit for software in general - and "non commercial" isn't very clear. Making something available at zero cost doesn't necessarily make it "non commercial".
Ed: and it means that code snippets/widgets from oni2 can't be used elsewhere without careful licensing - which is one reason cc/NC is a poor fit even for code examples - it's for education, but you cannot use what you learn...

Probably if you only use the React/Redux libraries and nothing else. It seems the project doesn't use any Javascript, and uses the OCaml compiler to produce native binaries for each platform.

You can find the motivations for the license change here: https://github.com/onivim/oni2/blob/master/docs/MOTIVATION.m...
Basically a large part of the motivations is that OSS is not sustainable with funding alone. It's a good point that it might need further clarification about what "non commercial" means.

From the license itself: “NonCommercial means not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation.”
This is a dangerous clause, “commercial advantage” could encompass a lot. I would not use this editor as a result of that clause.
