A stick figure pondering: "Hm. If only there was a platform for my desktop application"
The stick figure stepping over many native GUIs to pick up Google Chromium.
The stick figure: "Ah! Here we go!"
I LOVE ELECTRUM!! I WANT EVERY APPLICATION TO BE A CHROMIUM INSTANCE AND EAT HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF MB OF RAM!!!!
I HATE ELECTRON AND CHROMIUM EMBEDDED FRAMEWORK
nitter still works after the api chnages?
A lot of people have made a website before, so it makes sense that's the first choice for them.
That being said, if I was to make a simple desktop app tomorrow, which GUI would you recommend me?
Its hard to answer without knowing what your app needs to do.
For a generic crossplatform program, I would say QT or GTK when programming in C/++.
Also depends on the language being used. Even if it's javascript, you could use something like Tauri or Neutralino, which can also make an executable bundle which uses the OS's native HTML renderer, no bundled chromium needed.
Some languages + recommended graphical frameworks:
Which programming language will you use?
this is a hypothetical scenario but let's just say rust
What's your opinion on Tauri?
not mature enough. also no mobile support.
