Google Cobalt VS wxWidgets

I'm surprised Netflix doesn't just use Cobalt like Youtube probably does, but it looks like they use their own internal thing called Gibbon. Source: about 2 years ago

The YouTube app on Apple TV is absolutely atrocious. I can’t believe either Apple or Google think it’s acceptable — it must be one of the most-used apps on tvOS, and is easily the worst I’ve ever come across. It seems to be built with Cobalt [1], so it’s basically HTML5, pretending to be a native app. A short list of flaws which have infuriated me for months: • Scrolling is completely broken.

As others have pointed out, the other major cross-platform toolkits (Qt, GTK)... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

That all being said: We are now all waiting on wxwidgets to release their next stable version so that we can upgrade. It makes no sense to use an unstable version of that upstream, as in its development releases it literally breaks on every patch level release. It also makes no sense to start packaging a custom version of wxgtk just for audacity (the overhead required is just not worth it). Source: over 2 years ago
