> ...requested features including flexbox, styling, hot reloading, and components with the same API as React Native. That sounds like the way to go for a near 1:1 port of a cross-platform desktop app for React-based apps. Also the move from libui to Qt for the UI backend sounds interesting for this project to be used as a lightweight alternative to Electron. To be a true alternative to Electron one must provide a simple migration path for existing Electron apps to Proton Native which would change everything in cross-platform desktop app development. |

That only makes it an increasingly attractive alternative for those who already have an app built on Electron, and has little to do with whether Proton is a “true alternative”. If it can viably permit developing an app without Electron, it’s a true alternative. How easy it is to migrate an app from Electron is a separate matter.
