I'm so happy to just develop desktop apps in C++ / Qt. I commit, I tag a release, this generates mac / windows / linux binaries, users download them, the end.

- m_st 6y agoI'm very happy in the same camp using C# and SQL (though Windows only). Thank you for making desktop apps.
- drinchev 6y agoThere is hardly an app that I use these days that doesn't require internet connection. I guess once your app needs it, you will have the same problems.

- abraxas 6y agoI want to live in that world again. It ended for me about 19 years ago when I left my last "desktop software" job. How do you manage to avoid "web stacks" in this day and age?
- jcelerier 6y agoMost people still use desktop software for large projects ? Adobe stuff, music software, basically any advanced authoring software - the performance of the web platform is just not there for projects measured in dozens of gigabytes of media, hundreds of AVX2-optimized plug-ins, etc (and it's a field with a large tradition of benchmarking software between each other to find the most efficient, see e.g. dawbench)
