I've been wanting to make a Windows app for my specific budgeting needs so that I can uninstall LibreOffice since that's all I use it for.
So my plan was to use React + Electron since it's easy and quick, but it feels like overkill.
So I considered downloading VS Community and using C# and .NET for it, but that also kinds of feels like overkill.
So I considered using Win32 APIs, but I remember the sample hello world program's source being surprisingly complex.
So I considered learning MFC and using that since I heard it's a decent layer on top of Win32, but then I'd have to relearn C++.
So I opened the WinUI page and the WinJS repo linked to somewhere else in here, and both seem like dead ends.
This is why I still have LibreOffice installed. Which of course also feels like overkill.
