the point of this project is not to "turn this webapp into a cross-platform gui app" (electron is really good at this and I think this is where we agree)

it's more like: - let me make a cross-platform gui app really quickly (hot-reload) - without having to learn a ton of new APIs (so I can reuse most of my css + javascript + react knowledge & tools) - without overhead of web platform (DOM, lots of APIs, custom elements, shadow dom, paintlets, audio, video, geo, battery, ...) - while still being able to use any package from npm

I completely understand why you are skeptic, but if people are interested in flutter, I think they should be interested in this too (if not more). No offense taken, I'm glad for your feedback.

BTW: subset of css) this is rather about cascading (css-in-js vs. real css with global classes, etc.) html) major motivation here is "what if we could do webapps without dom?" like that we are using frameworks anyway (react/vue/...) and basically all applications are now built using components so what if we could send shapes directly to GPU?

So it's not about being able to reuse everything, but it's about being as much familiar as possible, instead of reinventing everything (like flutter does)
