Your app looks fine and interesting, The problem is the audience you are choosing, Mac users are very elitist.
I am sure you can get some market in Windows instead of Mac using electron, the windows users does not care which tech you used but that it just works and gets the job done.
Of course Windows users also they do not want trash but if have good performance and it works, It is fine.
This is different, Its not that c++ that people think from the 90's.
- Boden supports native components for iOS and Android and maybe other platforms in the future.
- uses c++17 really clean with powerful abstractions, think all your app in just c++17, no xml or other craps, I want to make my app with just c++17.
- no garbage collectors, slowness, pause the world etc
- single binary
- the fastest programming language in the market.
You have good points and I guess you are not missing anything but Check the VLC case with the App store term of services, they pulled the app from the Store. It is really hard to deal with Apple. your app could be rejected and not accepted because it uses the GPL on it. Apple folks are scared of GPL.
It looked very promising but GPL for mobile iOS and Android Apps It is impossible, even I release the Apps free it is very difficult to work with GPL on those ecosystems. It is sad because it really looks very cool code.
he could meant JDK, the server runtime many things in Java. and I know the thread Im posting. you do not need to tell me. You do not need to mention it like that.
