Huh, this is interesting. Actually I’m especially interested by Revery as an Electron alternative. How is it coming along?
Good question @malloryerik! I hope you don’t mind but I split your post into a dedicated thread… I also created our portal for Revery:
Also, CC’ing @bryphe in case he misses this
Interesting—other than onivim are any other apps using it?
Thanks @AstonJ for setting up the portal! Glad there is some interest in Revery
How is it coming along?
Progress is slow and steady - most of the improvements are driven by Onivim at this time, since it’s the only consumer, and there isn’t really funding for Revery outside of that.
I think there is a lot of potential in the space though - a UI framework that has React principles, but compiles to native code, for native apps.

AFAIK - Onivim is the only shipping app that uses Revery. Some cool toy apps, like this drum machine Ken Wheeler built for a ReasonConf talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdI10qe06Is (demo is about 25 mins in: https://youtu.be/fdI10qe06Is?t=1494) .
Ken’s drum machine is v.impressive! I wish Revery all the success.
After watching that vid youtube recommended this
What was it like meeting Bill Gates? Could you get him to invest in Revery/Onivim
If you do Bryan, get him to join Devtalk too I’m sure there’s loads of people here who would love to talk to him
Oh ya, thanks for posting that vid too @Carter
What was it like meeting Bill Gates?
Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet him personally… It was an event where he had all the MS interns over at his house (probably 400 or so of us!). I guess he did this every summer, for a while. But as soon as he walked out - he was just like, swarmed, by a cloud of interns. Even still it was an amazing experience to be there. Pretty surreal!
If you do Bryan, get him to join Devtalk too
Oh man I wish I could for you @AstonJ !
I would have been part of the swarm or got up to some sort of mischief like sneaking off to explore his house
