Hi, Remi from Fuse here. This blog post (by yours truly) is over a year old now so some details are bound to have changed, but from a tech-philosophy standpoint I think it's still valid: https://medium.com/fuseblog/how-fuse-differs-from-react-nati...


Hi, Remi from Fusetools here. In Fuse JavaScript is merely used as a scripting language to write business logic & tie the app together, so it's quite different from web & mobile frameworks where it's responsible for "everything". Native integrations are done in Swift / ObjC / Java, and all things visual & animation is handled in declarative markup. Working with business logic in JS also allows us to do instant preview updates when you change your code, which is one of the few things I've envied web-developers. :) And of course, a good argument for using JS rather than <some other script language> for this is the volume of developers (and to some extent non-developers) who can use it, as well as the amount of available resources & information out there.


Hi, I'm Remi from Fusetools. This interview with our CEO Anders does a good job of summarizing what we're about: https://www.forbes.com/sites/julianmitchell/2017/06/29/this-... (feel free to skip past the intro about why app development is A Thing :)

TL;DR We're primarily about being able to create cool stuff in less time (cross-platform is just a side-effect of that). A lot of what we build comes down to creating good workflows for going from idea to the final product, and to find the right level of abstraction so that you can work very quickly (staying focused on the real job rather than boilerplate and glue code) without giving up control and being sandboxed.


There's a "welcome ad" redirection on forbes website preventing me from reading any articles there. Maybe choose a better place to host content you want to link to.

Is it really crossplatform when according to your website it only supports the two majors compuphones makers ? Seems to me it's more marketing than anything else.


Just gotta wait 3 seconds, man. The welcome overlay on Forbes will let you click through if you wait 3 seconds.

So much hate in your comment. Why are you so quick to be dismissive and rude?

I for one think it's fair to claim they are cross platform if they work with 97.12% of the mobile market share [1].

"preventing me from reading any articles there" sounds more like someone with no success regardless of waiting; I would be completely unsurprised if their waiting screen broke sometimes.

GP raised multiple apparently valid objections. This is neither hateful nor rude, and your efforts would be better spent on answering issues than name-calling.
