What it does
Attar turns your JavaScript into native code before the app runs. It keeps Chrome’s rendering engine for the interface. Your code and supported dependencies compile together. The linker keeps the engine code they need. The result opens in its own native window. Blink, Chrome’s rendering engine, draws your HTML and CSS. The app runs compiled code, with no Electron or Node.js runtime. The aim: keep familiar web development while reducing the runtime your users need to download and run. This early SDK is for developers exploring standalone desktop UI. Start with the included TSX project or a source example, then check the APIs your app needs. Electron app migration is planned for a separate…from attar.dev

One – A new React framework unifying web, native and local-first2024 · onestack.dev · ▲506Hey HN, I'm Nate, the creator of Tamagui. One is a React framework that does two things differently in hopes of simplifying how we build websites and apps: 1. It unifies React Native and React web with typed file system routing by making Vite able to serve RN. This lets you share (or diverge) your code in a simpler way for cross-platform apps. 2. We've partnered with Zero (https://zerosync.dev) to make local-first work well. We've been building a solution in One that makes Zero supporting server rendering, without waterfalls, and with seamless server/client handoff. ---…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
