Explore the potential of React, JavaScript, and WebAssembly in creating complex desktop applications that rival or surpass native toolkits. Dive into a JSConf US 2019 talk by Florian Rival, where he demonstrates how to leverage these technologies to develop ambitious "Native Web Apps" that offer the best of both web and native worlds. Learn about writing WebAssembly, using Emscripten, integrating React ecosystem components, and optimizing performance. Discover real-world examples and practical tips for creating a better user and developer experience, including component libraries, tiling window management, and virtualization techniques. Gain insights into packaging options and user feedback for these hybrid applications that push the boundaries of traditional desktop software development.
