> React Native for desktop is... React Native. It isn't mobile-specific in any way. In fact, it is already possible to make Windows (UWP) and macOS apps with it.

And what if you want to make a non-UWP app for accessibility or other reasons? Just your standard, straight forward Win32 GUI. Bringing the power of React to that space will still appeal to many.



If your use-case is specialist enough that you can't use UWP or WPF, I feel like maybe it's specialist enough that it might be best for you to just use the standard native tools rather than React Native?


React-Native for WPF already exists. Same repro as React Native for UWP.

WPF and Win32 are not the same thing.


Your original comment indicated non-UWP or Win32.
