Technology classification #13

@molant

Description

@molant

The current classification could be improved to better convey what each technology does and/or how it works.

The current proposal after talking with @diekus and @jasonstephen15 is to group them by rendering method:

  • Web UI/Browser engine/something similar: This would include web browsers, Cordova, Tauri, Electron, WebView2 and anything that renders HTML, CSS, JS. We will have to make it clear that there is a significant difference between a web site or an app built using any of the other technologies.
  • OS controls: The application uses the OS provided controls and the driving language could be anything. A couple examples would be React Native (JavaScript) and Xamarin Forms (C#).
  • Direct drawing (there might be a better name): The technology draws pixels directly and does not use the OS controls. Flutter and Qt are a couple of examples.

@crossplatform-dev/members it would be helpful to get your input about this
