I would add Erica Sadun to this list. She's been my go-to authority for all things ObjC (and now Swift) since 2008.

You might want to polish your presentation a little bit before making it public. And by a little bit I mean a lot. Spend a few bucks and hire a copywriter service.
Re:Electron considered harmful

I've been fighting with this for a while now. I think the only good reason to use something like Electron is if you need to get a cross-platform POC up and running quickly.
I am currently trying to make a GUI to compose and render Terraform assets in a similar manner to AWS CloudFormation's visual designer, and I've spent an eternity trying to devise the best way to do this (this is mainly driven out of boredom more than anything else...Terraform works just fine as is). As much as I don't want to use Javascript and the cancer that is it's dependency management, the web stack is proving to be the path of least resistance thus far. Although I still don't understand why you need to download half of the known internet to install gulp and babel locally.
I'm a GUI novice. Is there any cross-platform software that generates a true native UI on target platforms?
