cross-platform desktop UI with React
proton-native is a React-like environment for building cross-platform native desktop apps without Electron, using Qt widgets.
Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.

These projects were analysed and named proton-native among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how proton-native rates them is a separate judgement, made when proton-native is analysed in its own right.
