Ask HN: Platform for building cross-platform GUI apps?

3 pointsby brettlangdonover 8 years ago
I am interested in building more desktop applications and I am a huge fan of writing cross-platform applications.<p>I have personally played around with Electron and Kivy, and most recently have started looking at Vala, but other than that I haven&#x27;t really fully committed to learn any particular platform.<p>Does anyone have a platform they particularly like in this space (or maybe one they suggest staying away from)?

I particularly use Electron, because of the ubiquity of Javascript and the fact that you&#x27;re essentially just building a web app that looks the same on every platform.

Electron&#x27;s the obvious choice.
