Huh, this is interesting. Actually I’m especially interested by [Revery](https://github.com/revery-ui/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: > **[Revery Cross Platform Framework | Devtalk](https://devtalk.com/revery)** > > Revery portal on Devtalk - see what's trending, discuss, share news, articles, blog posts, libraries or ask questions about 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. > Interesting—other than onivim are any other apps using it? AFAIK - Onivim is the only shipping app that uses Revery. Some cool toy apps, like this [drum machine](https://github.com/kenwheeler/camlsynth) Ken Wheeler built for a ReasonConf talk: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdI10qe06Is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdI10qe06Is) (demo is about 25 mins in: [https://youtu.be/fdI10qe06Is?t=1494](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 [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/UDz-IqwAzIs/maxresdefault.jpg "Bryan Phelps - Making Windows Development Reasonable") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDz-IqwAzIs) What was it like meeting Bill Gates? Could you get him to invest in Revery/Onivim 💵 ---

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 ! 😃 ---
