Something really telling for me here is the fact that there are multiple people here (representing multiple companies) who have solved this problem and there doesn't seem to be an open source solution for it, let alone a dominant one.
It's clear that in general, we are all sick of writing a bunch of bespoke code and maintaining multiple platforms, and are seeking smart layers of abstractions over native widgets. It's a tale as old as time.
What's curious is why there isn't a standard/de-facto standard (like JSON based one maybe?) for UI layouts that has emerged, with a React Native adapter for it.
We are trying to solve this problem too with the same approach (the framework isn't the product, it's just because we don't want to spend too much time building custom Mobile components for our product).
It's not like people haven't tried. Just Microsoft has probably a half dozen of these. MAUI, WPF, etc.
Again, just curious that at least one format hasn't emerged for it.
