If your application can be useful on different OSes (and now there are only 3 OSes in existence, as porting Desktop application on Mobile requires completely different UI and UX no matter what technology you use!), break it into business logic and UI and find partner or hire developer who love to develop native UIs for other OS. MVC pattern is old and well known (though not fashionable now, I understand).
OSS projects are completely different story, of course, no questions to OSS developers.
I prefer to pay $200 for native application than $100 for Electron one.
Oh, whom do I try to fool? Of course, it will be Electron app with $9.95/month subscription now :-(

In Czech, we have a saying "a person who is fed won't believe a hungry one" and SV veterans that are used to reams of VC cash supporting even lossy businesses like Uber have no idea that the excess spending needed to hire another developer for several months somewhere in Warsaw or Bucharest may kill a fledgling or small company. In this, the unity of the Web is a life-saver.
- blacklion 4y agoI'm not in Silicon Valley or even USA, and never seen any venture money or VC. But, again, I'm prefer to make one thing good than two things good enough.
