React Native Desktop VS TermHere

Build OS X desktop apps using React Native

“Open Terminal Here” shortcut for Finder

Cross-Platform Code Sharing
React Native Desktop allows for code sharing between mobile and desktop platforms, reducing development time and effort. This promotes a unified codebase across iOS, Android, and macOS platforms.
React Ecosystem
Developers can leverage the extensive ecosystem of React and React Native, including libraries, tools, and community support, thus simplifying development and benefiting from existing solutions.
Hot Reloading
React Native Desktop supports hot reloading, which allows developers to see changes immediately without rebuilding the whole application. This greatly enhances development speed and productivity.
Native Performance
React Native Desktop aims to deliver a performance close to native applications on macOS, allowing for smooth user experience and efficient utilization of the system's resources.

Immature Project
React Native Desktop is still a relatively young project compared to its mobile counterpart. It may lack some stability, advanced features, and support that are available in more mature frameworks.
Learning Curve
Developers familiar with only web development might find it challenging to adapt to React Native's paradigms and native coding patterns required for desktop applications.
Limited macOS-Specific Components
There might be fewer out-of-the-box components and libraries tailored for macOS when compared to those available for mobile, requiring more custom implementation work.
No Official Support
As an open-source project, React Native Desktop doesn't have official support from Facebook or a large organization, which might lead to slower updates and a greater reliance on community contributions.

Integration
TermHere integrates seamlessly with Finder, providing a convenient context menu option to open the Terminal directly in the folder you are browsing.
Efficiency
The app enhances productivity by eliminating the need to manually navigate to directories within the Terminal.
Ease of Use
Users can quickly access Terminal without needing to input any additional commands, making it user-friendly even for those less familiar with command-line interfaces.
Customization
Offers customization options to fit different user preferences and workflows, such as choosing which terminal to open.

Compatibility
May not be compatible with all versions of macOS or may require specific system settings to function properly.
Limited Functionality
Primarily focused on opening Terminal in a specific directory, lacking broader features found in full-fledged terminal applications.
Dependency
Dependent on Finder integration, meaning it may not work well with other file management solutions.
Learning Curve
While designed to be simple, new users might still face a learning curve when customizing or managing its settings effectively.
