Ask HN: Why aren't devs making desktop apps any more?
I was wonder why aren't devs making desktop apps any more, especially since everyone is buying laptops and desktops again? With all the tooling out there for cross platform, a native experience, and better privacy/security than a webapp.
For example, Here are just two frameworks/tool kits that are easy to use and to build desktop apps with.
Also, If they do use frameworks like the ones mentioned above they will still only release the app for mobile and then rebuild the code for a webapp which is slower and does not have the functionality.

React Native for Windows and MacOS: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/
Avalonia UI: http://avaloniaui.net/
