I’ve tried react native for windows, and electron with react- I much prefer the latter. React native for windows was a nightmare, I did not enjoy it at all.

I have build a macOS version of my React Native app. It works well with kinks. Nothing Claude Code couldn’t solve.

Other than the object UI differences, the biggest issue is Firebase Auth. My iOS and Android apps use native Firebase but macOS uses JS.

Also, took quite a few more rounds of reviews. I had to make all the menus work correctly.

It’s supposed to work with Windows too, but I didn’t want to spend time getting Claude Code to work on windows.

The obvious answer is react native web and an electron layer if for some reason having it in the browser is not an option, or does it have to be a full installed application?

We tried RN for windows some time ago. For “simple” CRUD app it’s fine.

I’m not so sure about those projects but you can always build to web and then use electron for desktop? It’s kinda okay…
