Leptos for a cross platform app

[KelvinJPS]

So I saw the example of letpos with GTK, rust currently has good support for accesing the os apis and ui toolkits, for example there is GTK and winrs https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs, my question is can I use leptos as abtraction to updating changes in the UI toolkits, for example GTK, windows, or even android ?

[KelvinJPS]

and would leptos increase the size to the final binary?

For sure! We don't have a renderer or anything for most platforms, but most other UI toolkits are built on the same model as the DOM: stateful, retained-mode widgets that fire events or callbacks. You can do things like the GTK example to use leptos_reactive to drive changes to any UI library like this, although you'll have to do a lot of work yourself.

But it's very viable: Lapce, for example, is working on a new UI library called floem driven by Leptos reactivity.

thanks, I really like how simple and easy the reactive system is
