I failed to see other practical options, flutter was an option, but its strength is not on desktop so far.
- duckywise 2y agoWhat was your problems when using Flutter for desktop? For me, it's the lack of multi-window support. There's a community solution but it's a bit lacking because it spawns another engine while the upcoming official solution uses single engine. I personally use it for my desktop apps (cross-platform) and building UI for it is a breeze. Though I forked someone's window styling plugin because it's missing some features I need. A native dev would've done better than me but if it works it works I guess. If I had to satisfy the requirement in the post though, I'd use enigma protector with to make the app folder into a standalone exe and with compression enabled to make it smaller.
