Regardless what's thought of tiktok, this actually seems really cool. I hope it attracts devs more than electron. Although i wonder if there will be some confusion with Lynx

Good catch. That definitely looks like it should a trademark dispute. Releasing the Lynx framework would destroy the Lynx browser in SEO.

It already has. I searched up lynx, and only got links about the animal and the new framework. A shame, the browser is cool.

They are learning from the US mega corps: if you're popular, open source your framework and it'll attract talent just by virtue of you being popular, regardless of merit.

They have entered the battle...
