Desktop app development

Another year, another order for a desktop app.

What technology in this time around? Last time I used java FX but ain't no way I'm going back to that shit.

Needs to work on Windows and GNU. Electron feels like an overkill. What do?

Qt and/or qml

>inb4 some faggot comes along with his electron shitpile

this one needs to have gui :/

will look into it, thanks

hope it doesn't get to that, people will be using it on low-end machines, don't want the extra burden

>desktop app

ha fag just use whatever framework with C++ or PYTHON what kind of an app is it anyway??

Mostly you drop files onto it and it shows you text. To be used by accountants.

what is

> whatever framework

openframeworks.cc
> whatever framework
thats look nice 5 sec to find it

Qt is good enough, but you'll need to install the framework on Windows.
If the UI is not mission critical and just needs to call routines and stuff, you can unironically make a quick one in Python.

do you mean in TkInter?

>desktop
>app
Please dont

If the project is simple enough, might be able to get away without a framework.

Any desktop app that is business orientated these days will be C#, or C++ if it's big enough to justify it.

If you need a framework and got money to spend look into DevExpress.

A fantastic free WPF framework is MahApps.Metro. Built a few in house tools with it.

Never mind missed the GNU part of your post

God knows why. Anyone with a job uses windows.

Thank you for those.

It needs to work on GNU because that's what I'll be running while developing it. Users run windows, so .net is a logical choice but I don't think it has cross-platform UI components.

TIL everyone who works at RedHat and SUSE is actually unemployed

You don't need to install Qt to run Qt applications, you can just ship it with like 5 DLLs

Anyone with a job is easily replaceable by the next monkey who can import libraries for cheaper wages? Nice

everything dotnet works pretty well with mono in my experience. for a simple app it might work fine on GNU.

Qml or Avalonia

What about java swing?
