Cross-platform native UI library for all OS

Sans is a library which supports ios/android/windows/macos/linux using webviewjs and Apple's WKWebView api. - profullstack/sans

Cross-platform native UI library for all OS launched on March 16, 2025 with 10 votes, #2,743 of 7,215 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

In plain words

This library provides native user interface components that work across multiple operating systems, enabling developers to build applications with platform-specific UI elements rather than a unified design. It is intended for software developers who need consistent native functionality across Windows, macOS, Linux, and other platforms. The library's primary distinction is its focus on true native controls for each operating system rather than cross-platform abstraction or web-based alternatives.

    Not sure if I would post this for the last day of #marchintosh OR wait for tomorrow the 1st of April. Both apply equally.

    Aberdeen – An elegant approach to reactive UIs2025 · aberdeenjs.org · ▲224

    Yes, another reactive UI framework for JavaScript. Bear with me, please... :-) I 'invented' the concept for this back in 2011, and it was used (as a proprietary lib) in various startups. Even though many similar open source libs have been released since, and boy have I tried a lot of them, none have been able to capture the elegance and DX of what we had back then. I might be biased though. :-) So I started creating a cleaned-up, modern, TypeScript, open source implementation for the concept about five years ago. After many iterations, working on the project on and off, I'm finally happy…

    Hi 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…
