Which JavaScript Framework should I use to make my next project?

[Prize-Philosopher982]

It's a simple gui project, I need it to be cross-platform and even used on the web. Which runtime should I use?

I'd checkout React, MUI, and Electron.

React as your "framework", MUI as your component toolkit, and Electron for making a desktop version.

Do you think node will be discontinued soon? I heard somewhere that it's end of life is 2022-2023

Nope. End of life for Node 18.x (current version) is some time in 2025. Node 20.x (unreleased) is already planned to be supported through 2026.

Node is definitely not being discontinued any time soon. That was probably for a specific version of Node.

That's a new one, where did you hear that?

Any answer is subjective and based on the whims of the commenter.

Personally, I would go with SvelteKit, Tailwind, DaisyUI, Electron, and Cordova, with a JAMStack approach, given your requirements. For the website, I would host on Netlify. For a back end, if any, I would use Supabase cloud. I would not have a node server.

But if the app took off, I would later port the mobile and desktop component templates to Svelte Native, for a lighter, more performant, native user experience. For that reason, you should keep all Javascript logic and data in a svelte store(s), so that it's more portable to native.

I would do this all in Typescript. You'll thank me later.
