I understand where you're coming from but in addition to offline first, having cross-platform support is also a priority. Although it's possible to run Qt/GTK apps on win, linux, mac, ios, and android, it still misses a huge platform: the web.
Also, even if we exclude the web, you still have to deal with app stores, code signing, separate builds for each platform and whatever else you'd have to do to distribute your app everywhere (not my area of expertise). But with a PWA, you make a website that uses Service Worker and you're done.
- ozim 2y agoQT is not as approachable as web stack. With all downsides of the web stack I still would rather go with it than QT.
- VyseofArcadia 2y agoHaving worked with both, I strongly disagree.
- seansh 2y agoI'm curious how many platforms do you support for your Qt app(s) and how easy was it? It's been a few years since I touched Qt and back then mobile support was a pain.
- VyseofArcadia 2y agoI've only worked with Qt apps that supported Windows, Mac OS X[0], and *nix. I've never touched mobile. [0] That is to say, before the macOS rebrand, so this was a number of years ago.
- DANmode 2y ago> I've never touched mobile. That's important.
