A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's weird they use webviews given they maintain the desktop port of React Native (https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/) which feels a lot better than a web view since it actually uses native UI components rather than just embedding a web browser.
It's gotten to the point where Apple's newer Windows apps (like Apple Music) look better than Microsoft's, because Apple are actually building native WinUI apps.
