Will LiveView Native add support for Windows?
I have been reading a little bit about Native and I found the support page:
https://hexdocs.pm/live_view_native/overview.html
I see that Windows is not present. Does the team behind Native have any plans to add Windows Desktop support?
If so, how will this impact other elixir projects, like Elixir Desktop?
Will it replace it, or work in conjunction with it?

We intend to build a WinUI3 client.

@rcm765 can prob give you more authoritative responses.
I assume so
That’s not how LiveView Native works, the BEAM runs on your back-end webserver which serves the your app views. Though there’s talk about optionally integrating with the Elixir Desktop project for apps that need offline support.

LiveViewNative architecture is much closer to a traditional website.
| “Runtime” | Language | UI Tooling |
|---|---|---|
| Browser | HTML/JS | e.g. Tailwind UI |
| Native | Swift | Swift UI |
| Native | Kotlin | Jetpack |
| Native | C# | WinUI3 |
The lines are blury, but something like that.
None of these work without a server, even for LV Native. That server might at some point ship with the native app using elixir-desktop technology though.
