They should port the rendering of the qt components to Dom/css with a web assembly backend. That would seem like a web app but allow for c++ code reuse.

I think that would be more feasible with something like wxWidgets or libui [0], which already use each platform's native widgets.

GTK isn't native on a huge number of users' desktops, including mine. It wouldn't be so bad if the GTK CADTs would stop breaking style configuration with each release.

I don't think it's doable on a Dom/css in a meaningful way as the semantics are too different.

But a webgl canvas id doable and I think what they are aiming for. Which would be great for QML.
