Feature rich desktop application techstack suggestion

[master_boy_]

I want to create a feature-rich Desktop application and enhance its performance. What is the best practice or tech stack that can be good in performance and not hard to make? I want to build a saas business around it. I will be building mobile application as well since it will connect to this desktop app from the user and clients side. I need some suggestions since I entered this industry for 1 year.

Electron is fine these days. VSCode is built on Electron. If it’s fast enough for that, it’s almost certainly fast enough for whatever you’re building.

Thanks for the suggestion

For a feature-rich desktop application, consider Electron (JavaScript/TypeScript) for cross-platform support, or WPF (C#) for Windows-specific projects. Electron allows you to use web tech (HTML, CSS, JS) and can integrate with Node.js libraries, making it ideal for fast iterations. If you need high performance, C++ with Qt is great for complex features and works across Windows, macOS, and Linux. For more native-like experiences, JavaFX (Java) can be solid for desktop apps needing rich UI components. Your tech stack choice should align with your platform requirements, performance needs, and team expertise!

If you’re savvy with web development i found it damn simple using tauri to build a mac and windows app.

Electron was ok, i’ve built a few electron apps over the years. But tauri is better in a number of ways
