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 Oh, this is super neat! I've been looking for smth like this for a while!

Out of curiosity, how does it differ from https://gtkx.dev/? 👀

GTKX

Linux application development for the modern age powered by GTK4 and React

@pojntfx @FineFindus @hbons Nice! Your input would be very valuable.

It differs from gtkx in that peachy builds on top of GJS while gtkx doesn't, and implements their own bindings. Peachy also uses the same react that's used to write web apps, while I think gtkx implements its own view engine
