Really wish this was cross platform. Would love to use this in Linux.
I appreciate the effort that it takes to deliver a polished application. I just wish more tooling did better to target Linux, Windows and Mac for desktop apps. Probably a larger driver behind web based apps.
- azeirah 3y agoI'm kind of surprised that for desktop applications more people don't use Qt. It's so good for these kinds of applications!
- asteroidz 3y agoWhat DO people use for (cross-platform) desktop applications these days? Find it hard to believe Electron is the only one.
- azeirah 3y agoI don't know if cross-platform applications are very popular anymore. Most of the good software I use is either single platform using native code, or it's Qt or it's electron. Only rare cases use something else. Sublime has their own cross-platform native widget system Jetbrains/minecraft use Java Spotify is chromium, discord is chromium, thunderbird is firefoxium, Obsidian is chromium, steam is (probably?) chromium. Most software that I know is cross-platform uses Qt otherwise; qbittorrent (duh), Transmission, KeepassXC, VLC (mostly, but also uses other GUI frameworks sometimes), Calibre, Krita, OBS
- gkbrk 3y agoQt is a popular choice. And as a user, apps made with Qt are pleasant to use.
- konart 3y agoTauri, Qt. But I'd think Electron has more than 80% of the market.
