Earlier quoted context omitted.

Where do you see "cross-platform"? The readme clearly says it's web: OpenUI is a full-stack Generative UI framework: a compact streaming-first language, a React runtime with built-in component libraries [...]

Oh, fair enough.

I hate the naming. "Open" is so abused by now that I start to distrust software that needs to explicitly state that they are "Open" because they usually aren't.

Don't advertise "cross-platform" and list React, React Native and Vue as your platforms. The world is not JavaScript, at least not yet.

The language is platform independent and the parsers and renderers are open source with the intention of letting people fork out into their own language. Would love your support in extending it to other platforms
