Except that is usually because many don't get how native toolkits work.

Ancient knowledge lost to the druids in the mountains and dead trees instead of TikTok tutorials.

This mage will always pick native over Web when given the option, even though Web has paid the bills most of the time since the last 25 years.



> native toolkits

I get them, but I'm just not interested anymore with 3 desktop and 2 mobile platforms to think about. Sure it makes sense sometimes, but this should be fun.


Not everything needs to be cross platform.


I just want the most people to use my stuff with the least extra work and maintenance possible. It is personally important to build a future where OS and architecture are not a factor.


Most of the software doesn't make it on one platform, let alone on many.


Im releasing on 39+ platforms. https://github.com/donuts-are-good/bearclaw for example releasing using https://github.com/donuts-are-good/release.sh


Great, most of them are irrelevant, will it even get 1 user on each of them?


yes.


Is that something we should be proud about?


Why not? Not everything has to be success.
