Well not really? You are going from a webpage (Electron) to a native application via Rust. Say you port a React website to a Rust native application, is anything about that code actually similar?

With GPUI quite a lot can be shared. Styling is similar, components can have same names. If your application logic is already cleanly separated, the resulting code can be quite similar.
