This. We (at Remotion) are currently evaluating what platform to build for, given our start with macOS native / Cocoa. But for Windows, what is Windows Native?
Seeming like more of a collection of half-baked ideas than robust frameworks that we'd want to bet a bunch of dev time on.
As you both mention, we might end up with a cocoa macOS app and an Electron app for Windows & Linux.
- jeppester 4y agoPlease don't make Linux users suffer because of Windows.
- aejae 4y agoI'm not a frequent Linux user so that comment crept in there—we haven't evaluated as deeply. Any suggestions for how to best build Remotion (lightweight video chat + dock for your team) onto Linux?
- rickstanley 4y agoAre Qt, GTK4 or Compose (Jetbrains) viable options?
- aejae 4y agoI'm not a fan of Qt from my time at Dropbox (we used it for our desktop client preferences for some time), but will need to check out GTK4 and Compose. Thanks!
- socialdemocrat 4y agoI used to be a big Qt fan but I have started favoring Gtk. Glade is better than any Qt designer. And being C based you tend to get better Gtk bindings in other languages. Who wants to develop in C++ these days unless they are doing systems programming? My strategy would be Cocoa for MacOS/iOS and Gtk for Linux/Windows.
- johnny22 4y agoI don't really dev with Qt, but I thought a lot of folks were using QML and sometimes QtQuick these days. Seems to make it possible to hide a lot of the C++ :) Although of course, it does mean you probably have to touch C++ sometimes.
- SureshG 4y agoCheck compose mpp, uses Kotlin and Skia under the hood. Really good performance overall. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-mpp/ https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-mpp/
- wiseowise 4y agoNot native.
