Use Electron and leverage your web skills. Learn as much as you can about the architecture before you start. For example, an Electron app has two main processes: main and renderer. The main process is like your backend API and the renderer(s) are the browser windows. Once you get the hang of it, the world opens up and you can really start cranking out code/features by bending the entire architecture to the will of the developer... until it breaks, but then you get to fix it!
