    Basically it's a compiler for a subset of typescript to native code, packaged with a reactive UI toolkit that maps to platform widgets.

    Why the decision to go through the hassle of compiling a subset of TypeScript, instead of using something like Rust? It would be a killer competitor to Dioxus/Leptos.

    Idea seems interesting.

    Website immediately turns me off as it looks typically AI generated and has the AI pulsing "attention" dot.

    And no, this is not a condemnation of AI as a technology, it's a condemnation of every website looking the goddamn same.
