React NodeGui is a framework for building performant, native, and cross-platform desktop applications using React and Qt5. It boasts a low CPU and memory footprint, styling with CSS, support for Flexbox layout, complete Nodejs API support, and much more. While suitable for smaller projects, complex projects may still benefit from using electron for now.

- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
