Roadmap

NatUI currently proves that React can drive a compact, native SwiftUI and WinUI 3 tree while keeping native layout and controlled interaction semantics.

Current

• React 19 custom renderer
• 37 typed host components
• SwiftUI and WinUI 3 hosts
• Node development server with React Fast Refresh
• macOS embedded JavaScriptCore mode
• Windows embedded V8 mode
• Native .app and self-contained EXE packaging
• Alpha npm package for the JavaScript renderer and development tooling
• create-natui-app project generator
• Shared natui.app.json entry and platform icon configuration
• Generated manifest, SHA-256 integrity, protocol, and host API gates
• Idempotent embedded update and shutdown lifecycle
• Protocol-level controlled-input sequence acknowledgements
• Contract tests and native-window verification tools

Likely next stages

• Extend accessibility coverage and native UI automation
• Define stable packaging, versioning, and compatibility policy

Not currently promised

• Native host binaries bundled with the npm package
• Multi-window APIs
• Animation or gesture APIs
• Pixel-identical rendering across platforms
• Code signing or macOS notarization
• Installer generation or automatic updates
• Single-instance application orchestration

Roadmap items are directions rather than committed release dates.
