I was inspired by @FineFindus and @hbons to post a bit more on what I'm working on, so here goes!!

I have been working on [Peachy](https://gitlab.gnome.org/vixalien/peachy), a small framework to write GNOME/Linux applications with GTK and React (yes!).

For dogfooding, I've been prototyping a little Hacker News client, since they have a nice and free API with a small scope.

Through the way, I've been adding features to Peachy such as supporting List/Grid views, polyfills etc

@vixalientoots @FineFindus @hbons is the reason for wanting to write GTK apps in React so that there can be more shared code across the native and web versions of an app?

@sashin @FineFindus @hbons not really, it just makes it easier to write GTK applications (DX-wise) with less glue and boilerplate in my experience

@vixalientoots @sashin @hbons I imagine it also has the advantage of being familar to lots of web developers, which could make it easier for them to get into native app development.

@FineFindus @sashin @hbons yeah that's also a fact! I should probably create a FAQ in the docs
