After 5 years on iOS/Android I wanted to build a cross platform desktop app. I came up with an idea (make thermal label printers a joy to use) and started hacking a proof of concept using https://github.com/electron-react-boilerplate/electron-react-boilerplate https://github.com/electron-react-boilerplate/electron-react....
It’s been an incredible learning process, super laborious and an absolute joy to see people buying my app and emailing with questions and ideas.
I’ve had to learn React, modern JS development, semantic UI, redux, native node modules, maintaining a cross platform build system, publishing on app stores, selling direct and building my own license system using react/express/graphql/jwt not to mention auth, and other APIs, deployment to Heroku... the list goes on and on.
