Oh god damn it. This space is severely under-served. It's only filled by Xamarin Forms, React Native (kinda), Flutter and web. And they all kind of suck for desktop apps.
I'm curious what this would be implemented on top of. How do we get graphics acceleration playing well with java? There's a lot of details to get right. What's the scope and timeline for an mvp?
The low-level stuff is already "done" with https://GitHub.com/jetbrains/skija which is a Java API with FFI to Googles skia library, which is used for rendering in Chrome and Firefox amongst other things.
