Having macOS in there would have made it perfect.
You can address MacOS and Linux with current support. Just pack web app in Electron.

I was curious too, so: https://github.com/Microsoft/ReSub Looks similar to rxjs or mobx based state stores.
I've very successfully used the observable pattern since backbone/knockout days with Spine, on web, node, and Titanium. It is easy to create reusable components and follow the data flow, regardless of data source or view implementation.
These days I use virtual DOM for performance but the architecture hasn't changed in years. The observable pattern with viewmodels is very efficient.

Looks like someone rediscovered/reinvented dataflow constraints, in a slightly hacky way.

Re: ReactXP – A library for building cross-platform apps
#14Despite explaining that XP stands for "cross platform", I still think that this is mis-named and many will assume it relates to one of Microsoft's biggest ever brand names with global recognition.
At first glance I decided not to read the article because I thought it irrelevant due to the XP.

#15I'm missing something. How is this different to react native, which is already supported on ios, android, web and UWP?

>With React and React Native, your web app can share most its logic with your iOS and Android apps, but the view layer needs to be implemented separately for each platform. We have taken this a step further and developed a thin cross-platform layer we call ReactXP. If you write your app to this abstraction, you can share your view definitions, styles and animations across multiple target platforms.

#17I would really love if MS brought out some kind of .net core electron alternative. Xaml is nice enough to build UI with, .net core works across macOS and Linux, and the whole package wouldn't need an entire copy of chromium for each install
Re: ReactXP – A library for building cross-platform apps
#18Ahem. I nearly thought Microsoft had partnered with ReactOS for a minute there :)
But XP is EOL, so "XP" is never going to be used in anything now, thinking about it.
I can wish...

How do you use React Native on the web?
Re: ReactXP – A library for building cross-platform apps
#20Am I the only one who thinks this is a big deal? This basically means you can finally share your React code across platforms. It has always felt off that React and React Native are so similar, yet you can't use the same code for web and apps.
