The widgets aren't native, which would be about a thousand times cooler. They are fakes made out of CSS.

Here’s a real reactive-native for desktop OS X Cocoa I found:

https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-desktop

Currently just "hacking weekend" level maturity. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/247#issuecom...

I have never actually tried it, but this one is real native controls. It’s on my TODO list…

This is great stuff!

Wonder if once Swift is open-sourced we'll see a library like that in Swift. Imagine writing React code in Swift and rebuilding that for Windows!

Do you have any idea how the native bridge works? I wonder if it could be done for Windows - what's the equivalent UI toolkit?

Is that even necessary for windows? Doesn't windows already have this abstraction layer with windows.js?
